P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

We had a great race here prev weekend. Not a official race but a great event with lots of boat, girls and party.
I was way too nervous to be a part of the crew aboard P5-1... my own boat. My very great friends Stig ond Johnny gave Tomas and Filip a ride around the circuit. The old boys were 200-300 meters ahead over the line!!!!
Now I understand that turtle on the bow....!!!

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Real cool pic`s, now all you need is papa bear to really put on a Pantera show.

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1

motor sounds great

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

best vid Iv'e seen in a while.
Love that sound of scream'n horses
Mange -sounds good. are those dry pipes?

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Great vid , boat sounds great !!!

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

I will have to live with that :( Made a few mistakes along the race but it was still simply awesome! :drink: :rolleyes:

Due to some wierd planning we started a couple of minutes after all the others, so the race really turned out to be between the Panteras instead.

We had a great day Mange, remember that day!!! Because there won't be another one... :blaster:

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

It's good to see that you left the turtle on the bow light. You can't change a piece of history, right?

Both boats look great.

What causes all that soot at the water line?

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Albert does not have a permission slip to sell the BEAR!

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

:D

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Its that crusingship in background (Like a Grand Banks) they had the dieselgenerator going all the time thats why all soot in water line. Going to clean the hull tomorrow.

Mange ,

You guy's are having too much fun !!!!

Awesome pictures , My favorite is # 40 , was the water cold ? you are about to get her wet in that picture . Also # 26 is cool and flying high # 30 in classic Pantera style !!!

Your trigger man on the camera did a great job !!!

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

They are some of the best action boat shots I have ever seen. I will have to get a camera man this fall when it is really blowin from the north and try to get some like that WOW great job!

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1

Mange

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Thanks guys! We had an awesome time out there!

The Pantera's really know how to deal with really ruff waters! :evilb: Mange had some really high airs too but unfortunately Edvard (the camera guy) missed them...

The water temp was about 65-68 degrees F... :rolleyes:

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

It would be nice to have something like that blown up to put in your office or rec-room. We never see anything like that here on the river :D

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Nice. nothing but airtime!!! I`ll be out Saturday in case you guys want to join me. Albert

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

I wish I was :(

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Hey Tom, it`s only few hours away and a lifetime experince yo u will never forget. BTW, how is the motor running?

Later, Albert

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Hey Albert, I haven't run the boat in about 3 weeks. I still need 2-3 hours on the new drive before she is broke in.
I have been running hard at work and going to a lake in Alabama where I just bought a house. Trying to finish a dock and get it set up for the boat.

The mtr runs real good. I am a little gun shy on stepping up the power after blowing the drive. I guess I need to mature at the gas stick.
Tom

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Break in the drive?

Just run it like you stole it.....We do :drink:

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

you guys scare me :eek:

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Its funny but my XR-drive is still workin. I have one new XR in case... but its for my other 28 footer.

Bruce, do you know any movie-files with my 28 Pantera?? (your at that time...)


Mange

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Tom I had 6 races in 2004 with my XR with my 28, ran it hard because I dont know of any other way, changed the lube after every race, still running hard now even with my 900 hp motor and not one problem. Oh, I even sold my spare XR to Bruce because I couldnt break mine. Good luck to you, Albert

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

Albert....your done

you know what gonna happen now....dont you?

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:



I guess I must have been excelerating too hard too soon after coming up on plane???

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

That is three votes for me to switch to XR. is it really good? should i do it?

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
 

I think this is a great deal.
XR its shorty sportmaster.http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-11625.html

Re: P4-4 vs. P5-1
