Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

I have to say that the 36 is a kick azz boat!! reminds me of a cafe when its in the water...BTW, how many have been produced?

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.

looks fast just sitting there. so clean looking, awesome !!!

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

i just noticed that pantera put more pictures of this 36 on their website.i saw the boat this afternoon at the factory and it now has a silver powdercoated swim platform.i think this is one of the nicest pantera ever made.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Jo that baby is sweeet looking that color looks very familiar :rolleyes: what kind of mph are you see???

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Hey Craney,

With the twin 525 EFIs spinning 5 Blade Hydromotives on the rev limiter boat ran right at 90 MPH.I feel with a pair of 30 Labbed 5 blade Hydros there is a real 93 - 94 MPH in it.The motors were still breaking in and it was 95 degrees with high humidity and that does not help.

This boat also has Bravo 1 XR Spotmaster Shorty's which are 2 MPH slower than a regular XR drive but increase the handling of the boat at high speeds and turns with its deeper skegs.I am excited to try one with a staggered motor configuration and standard XR drives.I think near 100 MPH speeds are realistic.

5 blade props are also a bit slower than a 4 blade prop but increase handling in rough water and mid range speed. " Speed is nothing without control ".

Regards,

JO

Full length Cabin pics.

Cabin was finished in White Vinyl with Blue light panels.We thru bolted the inner deck hatch rings with socket cap screws with castle nuts on the inside to give it a much nicer racier finish. Porta Potti is located in the center.Cabin has over 5 feet of head room.

immaculate engine room with Mirrorplex.Bilge pump brackets made out of aluminum to make certain they do not go anywhere in rough water pounding.

WOW, look at the rigging on this boat, every wire and hose are in line with rubber grommets, I can't wait to order a 36, now this is what you get with a custom built boat, GREAT JOB PANTERA

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

one lucky new pantera owner !!!!! amazing boat guys. :D

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

It is for sale in the Pantera classifieds section. Looks like a good deal.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

That is one fine boat. i broke the piggy bank open this mornning, only need $245,000 more to buy it. Sweeeeet. :D

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

I hope an OSO'r buys it

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

what is the difference on turning the props in or out ??

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

helps some older heavier boats with stern lift, just remember forward becomes reverse and visa versa

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

The forward and reverse shift positions remain the same. Turning them in or out is a matter of what side you put a counter rotation lower on. This allows the shifters to still operate in up for forward and back for reverse. changing the props and not the lower would cause the shift positions to change.

Some step hulls need more more bow lift and some require more stern lift to run flat so builders set prop rotation when testing boats for the first time.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

are we talking about bravo drives or not? swapping the props changes the direction propulsion, swapping drives does nothing.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

wow, the rigging is spotless. Jo, what do you think about ex boxes 8" 12"?
the boat has its own look!

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Joe
Boat is amazing. I would have to say you guys passed Cigarette in boat building. They must measure up to Pantera now.
Jack

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

:rolleyes: I hardly think that is an accurate statement. Nothing against Pantera, they build a great boat, even wore my Pantera polo one sunday for the shootout broadcast but Cigarette has more and newer models and rig as well as anyone.

I think saying Pantera continues to build a great boat and this 36 is a prime example is closer to accurate.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

somebody is smoking something.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

for $ 250,000 nothing comes close to it.what is a new cig worth now like $ 400,000 with 525 efi ?? they are both great boats!!!! :drink:

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

I guess I have to take back what I said after seeing this out of cigarette! Looks like crap and they can't spell!

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

NO SH1T ...pretty shabby lookin panel. probably done aftermarket or by the owner. looks like they had vinyl labels made and couldnt get them on straight.

plus ..it looks like holes for switches were not drilled perfectly straight either

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

I'm bettin' that's stock...

and completely anacceptable on a boat half that money!

just how much are you guys willing to pay for the "name" anyway? :rolleyes:

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

does Cig warranty their hulls for the original owner?

How much is a 36 or 38 Cig similarly rigged? 100k more?

hell... Pantera's name is just as good or better than Cig anyway.

If i had the ching...I'de go with the Pantera

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

me too. the Pantera 36 has awesome hardcore lines!

and the rigging turns me on bigtime. :cool:

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
