This is an ad from our dealer( Sailmotorboating ) in Italy back in the late 70s that would represent our line and would import 15 - 20 Panteras a year thruout Europe.
Many of these boats located in Europe are still running around today.

Here are a few more pics from the article.
Check out the swivel sit down seats and teak cabin doors that were very popular at the time.
We still build many of these 24s today.
