Tex, that is what I would love to do. Start with the 24' and enjoy it for a while then upgrade to a 28' in the end. I feel right now a 28 would be all i need, plenty of room up top and below and still kick a$$ with a single engine.

I guess a big ? is with an outboard is fuel milage better? I have seen plenty of bigblock 24 pantera boats and I can guess the fuel milage is'nt the greatest. I just wonder how a 200 hp outboard can perform similar to a bigblock 24'. I think I just need to do more research.

I figured for the price I would be looking at something in the late 70's to late 80's boat. I hope I can find one that only needs cosmetic work like new int. I know chevy engines in and out so I am not affraid of engine work or cosmetic. The only work I don't know is, if there is rot in the stringers or transome, I am also not familar with out boards that's why I am debating the Twister. What I really love about Pantera is the're still in business. So any problems or if I find a boat I can ask the builder about it and get a response.
Blow one up, then bolt another one on in a few hours:D Here is my 1981 24 Pantera, completely redone. I am not quite ready to sell and upgrade to a 28 yet, otherwise it would be in your range. Ran 50 with the old 200, it now has a much newer 225 3.0 liter on it, I will let y'all know the numbers next week.:cool-smiley-027: |

I'm the type of guy that I like to fix my own stuff. and I know with the BBC or SBC I can have it going in no time, hell I even have some spare parts if something broke. thanks for the replies guys.---Brad |

What happened to Robtlc's boat?? He had it on the market. It would be the perfect canditate for you.
There was a lot of people interested in the boat. |
If this one is still for sale, it may be in your price range and it's local. I don't know the owner, but I keep my waverunners on the same canal (harrison township) and see this boat out at muscamoot bay all the time.

Nope, that one's sold...
Brad, there was another 1995 SE for sale on a trailer at Gratiot and 10 Mile. He was asking 20,000 in the summer. I know that's double your price range, but I figured I'd mention it since it's in michigan. Let me know if you want the phone number, I'll see if I still have it. I think it had a 454, bravo 1, k-planes, he said the mph was high 60's. |
