Got it out on the water today. Thing ran great. 2 foot chop, and felt like glass. Not able to open it up for another 3-5 hours (outdrive stil needs broken in, as the guy I bought it from replaced it last year because hit something). Have to start personalizing it. Want to get some eyes on it, etc. Will change the upholstery at some point. Glad we waited for a pantera and did not settle for a baja, et. al. Feel a sense of pride by being in a pantera. Only thing that happened today, was that the drive shower line came lose and water sprayed. Figured it out and reattached. It is one awesome boat. Can't wait to be able to break it open in a couple hours.

Re: Finally got mine
 

Jo,
Thanks for all of you help over the past year. What I need now is some eyes to put on the boat. We have the old Pantera lettering. What options do I have/what do you have available that we can get.

We were out again today. Starting to play with the tabs and the drive. The lake we are one has a lot of fingers, so have to get use to the lake as well. Did not get to main channel yet, so have not seen much more than 2-3 foot chop. We could not have bought a better boat. Only prob is, I needed a 28 now. Told my wife that yesterday. She said, and I quote, "I told you would say that". At least she is a go fast boat girl. She has been pushing for this for a while.

Thanks all that have provided feedback to some of my questions for the last year, and thanks Jo for making such a great boat.

Glad we decided to get a pantera.

Re: Finally got mine
 

You have no idea how lucky you are!

Re: Finally got mine
 

You make the best 24' and 28' boats on the market Jo...and I have driven both...it's not Old School it's College.. :D

Re: Finally got mine
 

Hey Court, you made a great choice. I have had my 24' out in 4 foot Lake Michigan chop and it gets a little hairy, but I would not want to be in any other boat of this size! I made my own "Pantera eyes" and you can too. It's no big deal. I'm sure Jo can set you up too. He's always willing to help. Good People!
