Factory Visit
 

I was honored to visit the factory this week! Jo and Pepe were awesome as reputation described them, and very open and accommodating. Great guys and really represent the Pantera difference!

I really liked the lobby with all of the outrageous photos from the rich heritage and racing history that is Pantera. Then to actually hang around with the guys that made that history was totally cool! :D

One of the really cool things was seeing the mold that my 28 (all of our 28's) was built in .... too cool!

Here are some pics ........ arrrrgghh mate' .... did ya say yer needin' a boat ta spank yer buddies with .... weeelllll ya come to the rrrright place!

More Pics!

Here is the 28 mold being modified for the twin step ...... sorry TOP SECRET!

Also how cool is this, a finished external seam on the 36 Raceboat, no rubrail just a smooth connection on the outside makes the boat look like it was built as one solid peice. :cool-smiley-011:

Couple more!

Here is a 28 getting ready for outboards going to a remote spot overseas. Also the blue 36 Survivor .........

Last ones ......

Dash for a new Survivor being built, deck for the monster 41 that looks like it could carry my 28, and my favorite :ernaehrung004:the two legends posing for a pic ......

Thanks Jo & Pepe! you guys rock! :ernaehrung004:

It was a pleasure meeting you Mike. Thank you again for Dinner.

Send you your parts this week.

Regards,

Jo

who left the donuts on the model???:D:D:D

Wow Mike, they must have really liked you! They wouldn't let me take pictures! (I'm kidding, after my red eye flight and an 8am blast in the Mig, I couldn't even find my camera!)

That capped deck on the 35 is pure sex! I love that boat! Come on lottery! :D

Eating donuts off a model... very Japanese! You guys are freaky!

There is a 'place' in Portland Maine, in the morning ,where the 'waitresses' serve donuts from sticks from their boobs.
thought you'd like that dude.

Rob, remind me to give you a call next time I come back east!
