New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Here are a few pictures of the custom Cobalt Blue 36' " Twin Stepped " powered by twin Mercruiser 525 EFIs with Shorty Sportmaster XR drives.

I tested the boat this afternoon for the first time. I ran a set of 5 Blade P5 Hydros and turned them on the limiter at 5450 RPM and saw just about 90 MPH on GPS.With a set of 30 Pitch 5 blade Hydros boat should see 94 MPH consistent. I took Marine Surveyor Ed Cozzi "OSO Member" for an Ocean Blast and cruised at 83 MPH on GPS over 3 foot swells with much more left on the sticks. Boat turned perfect with our "twin stepped" bottom.The entire boat is a custom Cobalt Blue Gelcoat which requires alot more finish work.The hardware is Platinum, Polished, or Aluminum Anodized. We cut out a custom Air release near the transom to release the hot air in engine room. This boat has a full length cabin underneath.We went with a MOMO " Leather and Suade " custom steering wheel and Billett Platinum throttles, Keith Eickert polished Sea Strainers , custom double tray race battery boxes,Pirelli rubber flooring with padding, race motor mounts, spreader light , and even though the hull and deck is bonded 360 degress with fiberglass laminates we put a nice through bolted finish and a full race rig job.

The dash will have a GPS installed tomorrow on the center just above the Race Compass.The upholstery was completely custom made with White Carbon Fiber material with Cobalt colored piping. I will post better pictures in a day or two.

Regards,

JO

Jo,

The boat looks awesome. Somebody is going to be a very happy camper here shortly. Definitely one of a kind!

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Is this the IBC boat? I heard they were going to ask $250k if it is.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Larry,

what is IBC ?? It is worth $ 250,000 and much more !! I retail a Cobalt Blue gelcoat Pantera 36' like this for $ 300,000.

nice! love to see it with staggered power

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

The engine room is designed to have plenty of space to allow for a Staggered set up.Boat would run much faster.Should do one in the near future.

This boat will run in the 93-94 MPH range on GPS with the correct prop with a side by side set up.The Stepped bottom works perfect and we picked up over 10 % over a non stepped model with the same power.

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Love the lines.
Looks like kinda a 'mini-tiger' - ( by no means disrespectful ).

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

We work with same boat designer as Cigarette for 25 years now and he is a good family friend. The boat is definetely a Winner !!

Thanks for the compliments,

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Looks just awesome JO !!

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

I saw that boat out in The Haulover area on Sunday afternoon. First thought was Pantera or a proto-type Cig.

It looks great and mean, but I would like to see some more rear seat room. Is that possible ?

Love that color, and the shine is awesome.

IBC is a dealership near Dallas that was advertising a Cobalt Blue 36' Pantera about a year or so ago...Is this another boat?

Beautiful job BTW :D

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

I love the 36 Pantera, especially with a solid color. That one looks sweet. I like the F2 race boat best of all though. The solid black is awesome. If I were going to order one, it would be black gel with a white six pack bolster setup. Someday right! Come on lottery

All Top Of The Line Hardware.

29 Scarab,

Boat will weigh out complete less fuel around 8200 pounds. Everything that we learned from racing in F2 class with F2-71 has been incorporated in to this boat. From prop rotation , drive height , balance - CG , air flow , handling , and construction methods are incorporated into every boat we manufacture.

Thanks for the compliments you guys !!

I will post better completed pictures tomorrow since we are installing the engine hatch and detailing the cabin now.

This boat will be going to Dallas,Texas area.

look forward to the pics (tell the photog to have sun behind him this time so we can see some detail!)

Re: New Cobalt Blue Pantera 36' Survivor Pics.
 

Pepe and Jo

What is there to say?

It looks like just another Pantera to me...outstanding detail work and a boat that is proven in all areas even befoe it hits the water.

Boat looks great...... and I am sure it runs even better than it looks.

Job well done.
