2007 28
 

These shots were taken a few weeks ago on Lake Erie. Boat has just over 100 hours, shows as new and runs perfect. Call or email if you are interested.

Whats your friends budget? I have a 2003 Hull fully rigged less power, transom assembly and drive.

Depending on the numbers, I could rig it with a 500 EFI it would be about $ 70,000.00 when it was done. Not sure exactly, just rough figure for now.

If he has a bigger budget, Morgans boat is ready now and sweet!

Todd Blythe has his boat for sale, 2002 Pantera w/500 Hp with trailer, appoximately 130 hours. I think he's asking $60,000. Todd's phone number is 215 651-4787

thanks i will forward the info,what speed should he exspect from a 28 with 500hp,cheers scott

From what I have seen, low 60's. They are not the fastest boats...until the water gets rough. Then they come into their own. Pantera does have a new step bottom 28 coming out, which will probably be quite a bit faster. Pantera's will take more of a beating than you will. They are very solid, and what other boat company gives the original owner a lifetime hull warrantee, even if you race it!!??? The owners of the company give very friendly, personalized service to ALL Pantera owners, or would be owners. Hard to beat.

I second the personalized service statement. I am very happy with Panteras willingness to help and answer questions that arise concerning the boat. It's a rare but good feeling to have after a purchase .

You should see consistent upper 60's and maybe low 70's with newer pleasure 28's with a 500hp. My 28 was a 1996 and I think a little heavier with a 525sc and would run 67mph. It was a wave crushing and level flying machine.

I third that and I don't even own a Pantera!
I have seriously looked at 2 used Panteras and Joe was there to help without me even asking. Doesn't matter New or used... Joe is there for you. You can't beat that anywhere. extremely rare indeed.

I have a 2004 for sale with single 525 EFI. Just freshened the engine..runs great PM me if interested.

I love my Pantera.


From what I hear from other owners and from what I have read on OSO, unless you buy a race layup, they are not that 'scary' fast without big power. I can attest that I have pulled away from 35 Fountains in rough water though. I even smoked an old 42 Fountain with small engines (454's).

The fastest mine has gone is 81.6 on GPS. I have a different prop on it now but I havent had a GPS in the boat since so I am not sure what the speed gain is but probably picked up 1-2mph. Need another 300 RPM....


Tell your buddy he cant go wrong with a Pantera. Thed single engine, according to alot of my buddies, runs very very nice and is well balanced but because of the size and one engine it can be a bit of a pain in the ass around the docks.....

Jo and Pepe are veyr nice guys and helped me make the decision to buy my boat. Hell, they even gave me and 4 of my hooligan buddies from Toronto an hour long tour of the shop in March when we were down in South Beach partying.

Cant beat that. They really take pride in what they do.
