Did you buy Chris's boat (1980, Maroon/White, 454-Bravo)? I missed out on that when it went for sale, I heard it went to the west coast.

keep your eyes on screamandfly.com
there was one recently for sale there...

Looks like the 24-Pantera on Srean & Fly may still be for sale - Look under Hulls Larger than 20' on Page # 2... Boat has been cleaned up an appears to be looking good...

I saw it when he first posted it with the flames on it (shined me right away from the boat, thought total paint job needed right away, read lots of $$$) then to find out it was vinyl graphics after he took a deposit, oh well. I have a few Ideas in my head, thinking about a few other boats right now. If I stumble onto a nice pantera I can afford, awesome, if not I can wait, or somehting else may come up.

I hear there is an older Panter 24, 1978 or 1979 on this lake with big power. The Pantera Owners Gallery says there is a 1978 24' w/ 850 HP on this lake! Would love to hear about him wanting to sell! Although, that may be too much for me, i'b be happy with 400 HP out of a small block. Nice power to weight, unless they ride better with a big block.

I was dealing with the vynil flames boat owner he sent me some pics,said it was a bravo boat from the 80's.It is a 79 with a trs,he didn't even own the boat yet,so I told him when he took possession I had cash.He still told me it was a bravo,and had all kinds of people in line.Funny,he still has it.

Actually, I bought Nick's boat in St. Louis.
Which was Sean's boat out in California.
Which was Chris's boat in Lake George:drink:

So, yes, indirectly I bought Chris' boat.:cool:
In the process of completely going through it.

I cannot believe it went through that many hands in such a short period of time! Great looking boat though. So you are completely going through it, did it need it? Or is it just peace of mind and personal preference?

I've been playing with the idea of a 22 Apache Scout, but it is such a different animal than the 24 Pantera, and I really want a Pantera, just hard to find what I am looking for.

you guys looking for a 24, this is a bit bigger, but looks like a nice boat... just add your own power.

Yeah, I watched it change hands twice, and each time I was pizzed because I wasn't in the right spot to throw the cash at it.
When I saw it come up a third time, I made the deal sight unseen.
I think the boat was looking for me more than I was looking for it.
I got her home, and she was ready to run, but felt obligated to do some upgrades/updates.
