I'm now part of the Pantera family!!!

Picked her up yesterday in Coloma, Michigan.

Did the sea trial on Paw Paw lake, after determining that being on Lake Michigan in 49 degree weather, 40 MPH winds, and 5-6ft seas wouldn't be conducive to anything but a bad time.

She's going to get a hull cleaning and waxing this thursday, along with a full interior detail. Should be at East Chicago Marina sunday for some fun and then the in and out service.

Hot boat was right when they wrote "this boat has to be driven, not just pointed. After awhile, however, it becomes as comfortable as a favorite pair of shoes, responding predictably and smoothly to driver commands."

I got behind the wheel for fifteen minutes or so, and in those conditions, piloted her with a large dose of respect.

Congrats dude. I've been out in the Pacific in some big bumps and I'll say this, that boat has more in it than I do. She won't let you down!

Thumbs up

Congrats to a Sweet 28 Pantera!!!

That's a really cool paint scheme. Is that a raised engine hatch I see there? We need more pics inside out!

And yes, the 28 Pantera eats BIG water!


Good luck with your new best friend!!
