I had a 28 Pantera with twin 502 Mags... That was a very tough little boat. There will be others with a faster top end, but the boat ran surprisingly well in the rough. Jo and Pepe were always good to me after the sale. My boat was used but I bought it directly from them.

They could build you a custom 28' powerboat with any power you want. Just sayin'...

You should spend some time researching both companies on here. There is one that I would never do business with directly. Not to say I wouldn't own one as they are both good boats.

Or you could read this thread ................... http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/b...k-peak-64.html

Does this mean Berk will finally get his boat? That's how this game is played isn't it?

As they say......a sucker is born every minute!

Whats is this ..homework? yes masa right away masa

If NEW, Without even comparing boats, I'd just rule out the Pantera. You could ask any number of people why that might be. You might never see the Pantera, you' might need a lawyer, you might have spent XXX$$$ and have nothing more than a thread that gets deleted.

I'd actually pick a new Bayliner over a Pantera, because at least I'd have a boat. Maybe that's just me, and the people that are in an unfortunate situation now. Do you care about your money? Do you want to be in a boat inside of 2-4 years?

If your buying the boat with the intent of using it in the ocean on a regular basis. I would recommend an aluminum trailer instead of steel. I will last much longer and look better doing it.

Pantera can't powdercoat anything themselves. That would be something they would sub out.

Pantera does not build engines.

Do your research and realize what you are getting into if you order new from Pantera.

BTW, I owned a 28 Pantera and it was great boat. I bought it used.

Go to the site above and enter Pantera, Pantera boats, Pantera Powerboats, Pantera USA etc. in the search box. You should decide to buy used afterwards.

Woh guys. Come on. I'm a NOOB. You guys are throwing things way over my head. What's the deal with Pantera? I'm sensing there was some shady stuff that went on. Just shoot me straight. What happened? Never understood the secrecy surrounding these types of things. I'm not a professional researcher. This is my research. Asking people who know more than I do. Help me out.
