Pantera's in Sweden (+north europe area)
 

I think it's a good idea to start a thread with some of the over seas Panteras.
First my prev 28 3 Man Race boat what I bought from Bruce Seroff. The hull was from -96 but rigged first -02. The boat came complete exclusive engine. I dropped a brand new Chevy 572/620hp in to her. We had it dyno to 631,3hp. I great power plant for this heavy boat. With some good chops we run her exactly 80MPH. This boat was a favorite!!
I just used this boat the summer 2006 and then tok the engine out an sold the boat to Pelle in Finland. I think he is up to drop a 540/600hp in it and make a 5 man bolster set up.

I sold the 28 cuz I needed to finish my 28 Arrow. But then I was start thinking of a older 24 Pantera... I found an old one.. With Volvo 383/300hp with T280 drive. Old slow set up in a nice old school boat. This 24 1979 was in better shape than I thought. I was first planing to redo the boat to a true original -79 (or -77) but with a modern engine/drive set up. Then I realise it going to take a lot of time to have both the Arrow-project and now this... So I sold the 24 to a nice guy in our area. He was actually looking for a 24 Pantera project allready.

...Then our friend Stefan (Stoffe OSO boardmember) seemed a little tired on his 22 Scarab -95, he sold that one. And wanted me to find a 24 Pantera for him. Bordmember Troy Robl sold him a nice 24 -80 with 454 and Bravo-drive. The boat is on its way over the pod right now. Very nice looking Pantera!!

And yes, then Tomas Wallin and Dr Phil needed a kid sister to their Factory1 28 Pantera. This boat is one very cool real old school Pantera 1979! 454 TRS. The boat came to Sweden last weekend. I Cant wait to see it!

Mange,
Do you have any photos of the cockpit in the P5-1 Pantera?
Thanks,
Dan

...o yees... my thoughts to just have 1 boat went bananas.
1995 24 Pantera with 454 (I beleive 365 Mag) with Bravo. I bought this boat from a very nice guy up in Quincy IL. We came up to a very good deal and the boat is just to dropp in water. But I going to have a good friend take a look at the electrical wirings etc. Its has no tabs (!) at this boats so I'll try to fin a good deal for a set of 280's, DANA or some other tabs. This boat will be home shortly.
I have big numbers of photos of this boat and hull/deck/cockpit looks brand new. But I dont like the hull/deck graphics....

Hi Dan,

I need to run now, but I'll have some pics up tomorrow for you!

BTW, your new cockpit bolster vinyl looks very nice!!

Since I cant read the German site, is there another site you guys are on over there that I might be abe to sponsor or advertise on?

I have done many shipments across the pond and have no issue with the process.

Let me know.

Thanks Mange! I'm curious if it had the same layout as mine. Nice looking 24 by the way:D.

Cool thread Mange!
So we recently determined that there are approx 1000 Pantera's ever built.
Starting to look like 5% of them are in Sweden, and another 5% are scattered around the rest of Europe.
You have great taste in boats.
