Everytime I get out in some rough stuff, I find it hard to believe I'm in a 27 year-old, bone stock, solid as hell, wave eating 24' Pantera. The little thing never ceases to amaze me. This is my fifth season since I bought it with no troubles at all, other than routine maintenance. Last week I got out in some nasty stuff that only Lake Michigan can throw at ya, and let me say that I would not have wanted to be in any other boat 28 feet or under! (unless it was a 28' Pantera!) Eternal thanks to Pepe for the creation. I love this thing!
