New Pantera 36' pics.
 

Here is a new Pantera 36' "twin stepped" that should be done by the end of this coming week. Boat is powered by twin Mercruiser 496 HO - 425 HP with Zieger race hydraulic steering.

Boat includes: A/C , sink , cooler, shore power, stereo, flatscreen TV, GPS, and custom graphics.

I will post more pictures next week when completed.

We still have alot of details plus installing the upholstery and complete the cabin. My Father made new molds for the 36' cabin for the A/C, sink and cooler. Looks real sharp !!!:cool-smiley-011:

Custom upholstery made with carbon white vinyl and blue carbon accents. ( 2 ) Stereo speakers will be mounted on the bottom of the custom rear seat.

We also did a custom engine hatch with dual intake Naca ducts. Sunpad is white with blue Pantera embroidery. Grab handles will be mounted in blue.

The custom vinyl graphics have different shades of Blue, Platinum, and green with our cat eyes. The camera flash does not allow the colors to show well. Colors look much better in person.

A beautifull piece jo.......Since i have such a high regard for the classics can i have it..........Just kidding........Another fine rough water beast.....

Here are a few more pics. We printed out a few color choices for the custom graphics. Aluminum swim platform will be bolted on next week.Since we have never powered the 36' with the smaller 496 HO Mercs. I am going to try several props next week and try turning them "in and out". I think 75-80 MPH should be there with no problem. With twin 525 EFI's with a side by side set up we see over 92 - 93 MPH on GPS.

We are also building Rob Whitney ( OSO member ) a new 36' that will have "staggered" 800 HP big blocks. Should be alot of fun out in the Ocean.

Sunpad with blue Pantera embroidery and fuel fills.

Nice Job guys,

1 piece vinyl wrap.It has a few blue tones with platinum, and green. The next (2) 36's will have custom paint.

Thanks for the compliments .

JO

Vinyl is soo much easier though, kinda widh I did it on mine.

Sharp!

Looks Great!!
A flying on the water condo.

whats with the small power? looks great tho. whos the new owner and where from? south florida i hope. i hate being the only 36' around here. lol i been representing alone for a year and a half lets go people break out the check books and get on some poker runs with me in a new 36'. :evilb:

now thats what im talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!

jo, got any mockup sketches of the 36 staggered?

just waiting for them to build and finish one and i would take it .:)

Is this the 36 going up to Duckys?

Jo -

I was going to bring my engine down while at the boat show next month for a mock up in a 36...looks like the bilge is filled on that boat though!!! Just dreaming!!

Looks great as usual.

Kirk

As usual the boat looks Great !!!!!

Looks very good Jo!!!:evilb:

Who makes that rear seat? In house?

That is one of the sharpest boats I hve seen in a long time....................... !! Man, I lve that new 36

This new 36' will be going to Pennsylvania.Customer owned (2) Pantera 28 single in the last 10 years and decided to move up to a Pantera 36'. The family is not into the big speeds and 496 HOs fit into their budget.They will boat in the upper Chesapeake Bay.

Rob Whitney's new 36 with the staggered 800 will be at many Poker Runs in 2008. I do not have a line drawing with the staggered. We originally designed the 36' deck to allow a staggered engine configuration. This 36' will be extremely fast !!!

Ducky's new 36' is also being built now with twin 525 EFI's and custom paint.

We are doing more of our upholstery in house now even though this custom back seat was not. We are doing all the cabin cushions at the factory with plans to start doing our cockpit upholstery at the factory in the next 60-90 days.We have a very experienced upholster working with us now full time. He does first class work. I will post pictures of the new cabin later in the week.

Thanks Guys on the compliments. Boat will look much better once we get it all wrapped up later this week. I will post good pictures out in the water and possibly a nice video.
