Awesome pics!! Cig3?....... Zeiger had the Cobra Mariah. Did he also own the Pantera Mariah? And did he ever race it? I remember the Pantera when it was new in a boathouse in the Clifton Lagoons. I thought the original owner was Howard Ferguson.

Default 29-9

There were 5 29-9's made Leviathan,which became Boar Hog and had 4-150 Mercs. and was driven by Juan Fernandez. My 29-9 was originally owned by Jim Armington 1973-76 from Ohio and was called Thumper Too. Vaughn Szarka also from Ohio owned it till 1980 and was called the Head Hunter and was APBA National Champion Class II . It was sold to Mike Atkins on the West Coast and came out of Marina Del-Ray. I took delivery of it 3/24/08 and we will be done on a total restore this year.

The 482 tall deck (Truck Block) 4-1/4 Bore / 4-1/4 Stroke (stroker without head plates) has been rebuilt by Roger Munn. He possibly ran this boat on Lake X and Bob Oetringer is working on the hull and deck,getting it ready for painting.It will be original from Engine,to instruments and hardware.We even got the original trailer that probably weighs 10,000 lbs.
