I am juming in late here but I am new to the forum and i wondered if you have seen this boat on ebay?

Doesn't look like too bad of a buy, I'll probably have close to that wrapped up in mine for sure... but long story short, I'm a Pantera fan. I don't have a witty reason for liking Pantera's over anything else...

Nothing wrong with the Baja's, good boats, but you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a Baja. I have one of the few Pantera's around the area and had to ship it from Boston to get one.

I may be a bit crazy but I also like the 7ft beam on the Pantera's too.

I saw on another thread a 24 Baja Outlaw that ran 96 mph with 980 hp for sale also $41k...

you might want to consider this boat....

I totally get it. Its cool to have somthing that is not so common. I live in an area that noone has fast boats. Just wanted to pass the info along. Best of luck

Let me rephrase that, my area doesn't have many fast boats either, a few jet boats and a few Baja's. Buddy of mine has a 29 Outlaw 99, (I think its a 99), so I just wanted to be different.

Ill keep reading because this engine building stuff is very interesting to me.

Not the same as a Pantera. I haven't even run mine yet, but since the motor has been out, I've been crawling around the bilge, and Baja isn't even in the same league. I've owned a Baja, and just looking at the glasswork you can see and tell the difference.

And yeah, I also wanted something different. (although there are 2 28's running in my area one white, one black both with the cat-eye mid-ship).

Having an old-school classic boat is what I was after. I was kinda split between a Magnum, and a Pantera for a little while. I just love the classic look.
And, anyone that actually knows anything about performance boats and the history will know right away what your rolling in with.

Yep, agreed. I too was looking a Magnum, Sutphen, and of course Pantera... I like the old school race boat look... but I also don't have a lot of money to throw around on a hobbie at the moment either. I feel pretty lucky to have the boat I got now. Lots of potential.

Yeah, me too. I've learned alot on this thread so far.

Same here brother. Same here.
