Just picked it up on Sunday. Already have about 30 hours of working time into it but great set up to start with. Sunpad rear seat upper and lower were recoverd. Bolsters have a small split that I will have repaired but toher then that mint. 100% freshwater winni boat and trailer.

NICE!!! What power does it have?

350/260 alphas. All stock proably runs 60 ish. Drives were just done in it. Im redoing the seats coushins for the couch and padding tonigh along with fuel pumps and dropping carpet down in the cabing. Remaking the step in the cabing due to some one "misplacing" it and new bilge pumps.

We had one of those years ago. They're nice boats. Good luck with it!

Nice, One of my favorite boats, and Simple, 260's with Alphas, reliable, and cheap to fix. If I coulda found one that clean when I got the Pantera I would have bought it.

Haha ill take the pantera for it=0) i actually didnt want to buy twins as my play around boat. But it was so clean and freshwater i couldnt pass it up. I really wanted a 24x7 with a bbc/bravo set up or trs. But it sold because he was offered more cash after we had a deal i even said id sent a deposi he said na just pay full when you get here. Guess not. But im not upset.

You don't want this old junker, but it DOES have all new transom, etc.:drink:

Ive never heard anything bad about a pantera so thats a plus. Ah if i dont sell it trade it ill run it the rest of the summer. Like I said a bit big and extra engine to what i was truely looking for but boat was to clean to pass up.

I am not really ready to part with the Pantera just yet, it is economical to run, and even though it only runs 60, it feels like your doing 80:evilb:

Here is a few videos of it running off palm beach, you can see what the narrow beam does, should run better with the new transom, solid mounts, and probably getting a bracket with swim platform next week:drink:

Thanks,

R i had a 1050 HP blower motor in a 93 Velocity with no hydro steering just add on

:eek:Now that is a HANDFUL:eek:

I bought an 85 272 LS in July as well but I was wondering if you could shed any light on when these boats were made? NADA only lists 1984-85 models yet I've seen several listed as 86's.

I like it, wish I would have moved on this a few weeks ago when it was for sale.

P12 it was a smokeing deal. i sold it for less then I was aking in swap shop not done when I finished it. Needed to move it to get into an outboard. Looking for an outboard Carrera? :coolcowboy:
