24 in the Boat Trader
 

FYI...Not associated with-but there is a 24 in the Boat Trader.
It might be a good deal for someone....in fact if I had the liquid cash, I'd probably look into it further for myself.

That Pantera gave me and my family the most care free and enjoyable boating for 7 years, my son grew up with it. Pics are from the south shore of lake Michigan at our former home town of Ogden Dunes

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

So whats the scoop bearpaw...
Its been on the market too long if its in good shape.
Something up w/ the owner/broker?

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

I don't know the owner or broker.
Usually a case of moving up to something bigger (thats what happend to me), untill you realize how great of a boat it really was. Dosn't cost any money.

I sold it to my neighbor, who sold it to someone in Fl

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

seems like a reasonable price, if its in good shape.

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

I personally like the TRS but what would it be worth with a new bravo drive and transom on it?

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

not much more

Back in the day before she became pleasure :D

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Bearpaw, what years was it raced?
Could it be eligible for horba?

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Back in the mid to late eightys. If you are up on the history B-87 was the number of DAMM MANTA . The Pantera was used to get points when the Manta was down. :evilb:

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Bearpaw-
Funny you say that about the B-87 number. I was thinking about "Damn Manta" and wondered if it was a weird similarity that the Manta was from Indiana too.

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Flawless looking boat....

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

at 11k it would seem like a decent deal.
has anyone looked at this boat?

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Im waiting for a call back from the owner. The boat is in the shop ? getting a tune up, So Im told. Its been 2 weeks, He said its still in the shop.
I hope its not a Hurricane nightmare.

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

:d :d

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Anyone had a chance to check this boat out or know anymore about it?

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

I've escaped from Cuban prisons three times :D

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Your the MAN :D :D :D

I cant believe you went back 2 more times after the first escape.

If I ever get out Im never going back, :evilb: :D


I dont know what the story is with this boat. Its been in the shop for as long as its been for sale :confused:
I called the guy yesterday, L/M I will try again today.

Re: 24 in the Boat Trader
 

Anyone find this boat yet?

I know I am bringing back an old post but I purchased this boat..... I am trying to get some info on the engine work that was done to it.... the guy I bought it from said that it had upgraded heads but had no idea what said 370hp... I'm wondering if it is a 454 370 with the forged bottom end????

Its only a stock 330hp 454 with EMI exhast with a MecII trans

Can I ask the sale price..............please

Yeah when I took it for a test run found out the merctrans was full of water..... it is getting sent out to be rebuilt this week if the marina ever pulls the engine. It needs work here and there but looks ok overall..... I got it for 5k with the quickload trailer.

$5K.........holly sh**............... I looked at it a few months back when he was asking $10K for it!
Ju gatta deal mon!

yeah so far I am happy with it...... just need to get the trans done so I can take it out.

for all the money saved on the boat you could install a 600 ITS sportmaster in that baby:ernaehrung004:

That trans was new when I sold it with the gimble and drive gone over must of ran it hard. The trans should be cheep to fix. nice buy and get some real trim tab for that thing. Does it still have the red carpet below. Make sure that the cooling hose from the trans is not blocked should dump into starboard exhaust if that boat was in a winter freeze it could have popped some thing inside the trans to get water in there.

yeah the bellow came off and I believe it went in through the rear seal. I installed a transom drain for the trans cooling so I can monitor it.
I just talked to the marina and they said it'll be needing a new ujoint and yoke.... I'm out of town and can't take a look at it. I believe that yoke and u joint is like 600 bucks if you can find it. I did not feel much play in the drive but I did not see it off yet. how do you confirm that they are shot??
I am looking at extending the tabs but did not know if I can just bolt on some alum or stainless with the same rams.... anyone have thoughts on this???

red carpet is below....... should I be taking it out lol

24 pantera
 

Did you get the Pantera tranny fixed? I looked at this boat awhile back. Cool boat! Let me know if you want to let it go. I'll bite!

yeah I got the new trans installed, serviced the outdrive and that new u joint. Boat runs great. Only thing that could use some work is the rear bench seat upholstery and some nice tabs. Right now I am happy with the boat, if you want make me an offer.
here's a pic from a trip to beer can island in tampa bay
