I own the second pantera hull made. 1977 hull #002. It has a "wcw" (pantera) HIN number. I know the original owner and see him occasionally so I know the history of my boat from when it was commissioned to be built. Pepe also confirmed what the original owner told me.
The first 3 (maybe 4, depending on who you ask) had a round "p&d" or "Excalibur" style deck but were layed up by pantera.
Here's a pic of the first hull (wcw 001) and you can see the rounded deck:

All those skinny boats were born from a 23' Magnum mold built by Hary Schoell for Aronow. Harry desiigned and built the mold, not a plug and mold. About a hundred boat compan
ies got their start with that.

Hary Schoell also designed Active Thunder's AVH (Active Ventilated Hull) single step/pad bottom hull and they run great!! It's an advanced design of the DDC hull....

19.2' 1971 p&d
its starting to grow on me - I thought about pulling the windshield and preparing the topside for some
fresh urethane white - I appreciate the good wishes - the boat is starting to grow on me most-likely because of its practicality
down here in SWFL - something to bring any where and drop it in " I still dont have very much info on how many were made this is the first one I have seen
