Can't wait to see the one Dubberts gets. Jim give me a call when you get time 740-817-2245, Dale.

New Pantera 28 SR looks incredible :drink:! Just waiting on the cockpit upholstery which should be ready sometime next week. I will give everyone another update in a few days. We are real close to completion.

Jim, I will email you a few pics. soon.

JO

Jo,

We are ready for some new pictures... Don't forget about me... I hope things are going well for you guys...

Hey Jo, we were wondering if you could help us with finding a trailer we could buy to bring her home.

Here are a few more pics. of the new Pantera 28' SR.

I am very, very, excited about this new 28'. We custom fabricated Stainless Steel plates that were precision cut with Water Jets and had them high polished with custom LED "green" lights. The factory lights were on when I took these pictures so the LED lights do not show up as well in these pictures but I can assure at night there will be no performance boat like it in the water ways.:drink: It reflects off of the custom paint work.

Shooting for right around 80 MPH on GPS with a stock 525 EFI. Remember this boat also has a full cabin.

Cockpit upholstery is silver carbon with charcoal and orange accents. You will all see it completed next week.

outdrive man, no problem on the trailer. We will discuss this soon.

Regards,

JO

Look's Good :)
Put A Hatch On It And Let Run Her :)

Julio get back on that L/M and stop playing on OSO.
You don't really need a hatch! :grinser010:
Later,
pp.

We just dropped the overhead door and turned the lights off here at the factory and turned on the LED on the recessed hull sides and the boat looks unreal !!!!!

I will take a video at night with them on while testing the new 28 SR.There is nothing in the Performance boat industry that looks this unique.

I am very excited on seeing it all come together.

JO

Jo,

What's the price tag of this gem? I stumbled on this by accident and am taking a liking. How dry of a ride is it in the rough?

Its about time you started paying attention!!

But I was in the uncensored section looking for porn.... Geezzzzz - some people.....

:violent040:

I don't know the price on this baby....BUT I can vouch on how a Pantera runs in the rough. Awesome!!
Go to http://www.youtube.com/user/PanteraRacing and see what they can do.
I've had 3 Pantera's so far and can't wait for my fourth.

SDfever,
I drive my 28' back and forth from Fl to the Bahamas and it's a dry boat- great riding and solid as a rock. Used to do the same thing in a 24' Superboat and at times the boat felt to small to be out there. The 28' is a much larger feeling boat. Not that you won't get spray in this boat, but it's much better than the performance of the size down.

Jo, are those stainless LED's ?? Can't wait to see and hear the test drive results... definitely a boat you guys should be proud of- hull looks very unique... kind of like an on water muscle car.

That's cool. Thanks. Maybe I'll bump heads with an owner sometime and get a ride.

Hello SDFever,

I am going to post the "retail price" on our new Pantera 28' next week after everyone has had a chance to see it on video and pictures.I want everyone to see the new changes and the performance.We just finished installing the pop up indicators on the new dash over the upholstered carbon fiber vinyl panels and it turned out awesome.

Austin,

Good to hear from you. The plate was fabricated from 1/4 inch Stainless Steel and high polished. The LED lights are designed to be used in or out of water and come in Green, cool white,red,blue,and new flame red. May need another vacation in Abaco in the coming months.:drink:

We are trying to sea trial it this weekend.Keep everyone updated in a few days.

JO

i went to factory today and yes the 28 twin step is looking real nice .
now let's run that bad boy already :)

Looks like we will be testing tomorrow afternoon the new Pantera 28' SR.I will post pictures and video soon.

Looks awesome !

JO

so how much??

I want everyone to see it first then I will post the retail price.

Regards,

JO

Had a busy afternoon at the factory and could not make it out to the water but will run the new 28 SR tomorrow Saturday. Boat looks amazing !!!!! We have put 35 years of boat building experience all into this new 28' SR. The LED lights and recessed hull sides give the boat an aggressive exotic sports car look like nothing ever seen before in the marine industry.Pictures do not do it justice.

Here is a picture I took of the cabin this past week before the final details were completed. This cabin took much more work than other 28s due to it being finished in "carbon" vinyls which is a 2 step process instead of just the standard smooth white vinyl which comes standard with 1/2 inch foam padding all in 1 step. We did the deck and hull sides in silver, bulkheads with charcoal gray, and orange on the light panels. Carpet over the V-berth and wrap around we went with a charcoal gray color.Simple and very clean looking matching the outside colors !!! I will post better cabin pics. in the next day or two.

Have a 5 blade Maximus prop, and ( 2 ) 4 blade Bravo 1 props to test tomorrow. Drive height is higher with new T.S. bottom plus lower center of gravity and fuel capacity.

JO

Congrats Jo! Great work as always.

Angel

Nice!

I've been looking around and have noticed that you see a lot of older Panteras that are holding up nicely. Like I've found many 80's vintage boats that not only look nice but they look like they have not been restored etc... Maybe it's me??

So now this thread sits on my computer all day to see the results!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME!!
