1999 Pantera
Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to pick up my new (new to me) Pantera 28' from the factory. Jo's installing a pair of 6.2 mercs and a few other things that should be done shortly. How do I need to "break in" the engines?? I've only had outboard boats in the past and you needed to run then a cretain way for the first few hours to get the best life from them.

Thanks, guess I just have to be patient and wait to pick the boat up and get the manuals. I bought an all white 1999 28’ that Jo took in on trade several months ago. The boat needed motors so it was the perfect opportunity for me, as I wanted small blocks, and have always been fond of new engines. Bought it “sight unseen” and I am driving down to check it out on Monday!!

Yeah, in the caribbean we use a boat more like a car...surrounded by water. So a good handeling rough water boat is in demand. I'm hoping to get good MPG out of the 6.2 small blocks but I have no idea what to expect. Anybody out there with small blocks in a 28' that could give me an idea? I'm thinking close to 2 mpg...
