well?:rolleyes:

They were built right to start with and the people that own them take pride in their in boats and take care of them.

Wass Up ....
Did You Run The Boat Yet ?

Handled perfect and ran much faster with the new T.S. bottom. Need to play with a few more 4 and 5 blade props in the next day or two.

I will post good pictures tomorrow and performance #s soon. Boat looks amazing in the water.:evilb:

JO

Tease

Nice..........

I am interested in the retail price with a 525 XR package. As well as top speed and cruise speed with this package.

I have a friend who is looking.

Jo pics. price, video????

Plan on taking a video tomorrow before the boat heads up to our dealer Ducky's Boats. I had a photographer take some pics. yesterday.He is going to bring them later today for me to look at. As soon as I have them I will post a few.We are going to test the boat again tomorrow with a few more props.Even though top speed is important to me I will sacrafice a few up top to have a bad azz rough water set up which is what Pantera is all about.

JO

Here are a few pictures. I will post more later.

Looks bad azz !!!

JO

Here are 2 more pics.

Nice job JO! You guy's are gettin r done!

Jo & Pepe
Boat looks great
Congrats

Awesome!!!!!!!!

Are the l.e.d. lights standard!!!:)

I like this boat a lot. I can't tell but is there a ladder? The swim step looks high.. Or it's maybe geared more towards asthetics and not meant as a means to come out of the water??

I noticed the same thing, usually its lower and the side supports can be used as a ladder. It appears the trim tabs are in the way for that with this boat.

Jo, the boat looks awesome. Very nice job.

Great looking boat Jo! I bet those L.E.d's kick ass at night. My platforms high as well- I like it that way...just step on the drive and up you go. It always gives me the feeling of "ocean worthiness" with a high transom. No dig of other boats, but those that have the swim platform that almost dip in the water, don't seem well suited for stopping in the middle of the Gulf Stream for a swim!

Can't wait for the performance numbers. Do you have anything on board giving you fuel info?

Up on the tab, then the swim platform step and you are almost on the hatch!

You must look good b4 you feel good. (chinese proverb)

Really sharp Jo & Pepe! Seems like it still sits up nice and high in the water at the transom ... lot's of freeboard still.

That new 28 is sweet, one good looking boat

Put some neon green underwater lights on that bad boy and that would be really sweet at night.

Mike,

Hull sides are 2 1/2 inches lower at the transom due to the T.S. bottom. Has a real nice stance in the water.Lower CG !!

Dale,

We could do it behind each step.:p

Going to test in the morning out in the Ocean then the boat is heading North to Ducky's Boats our dealer in PA.I will post cockpit pics. and video soon.

JO

Sharp looking boat!

Well how fast is it???

:evilb:

How much?

Had it up to 78 MPH today in dead flat water at only 4950 RPM spinning a semi labbed 27 P5 Hydromotive prop.To much transom lift out of the P5.Should see 79-80 consistent once dialed at 5300 RPM with a great rough water setup.

Next prop is a really worked labbed 26' P5X Hydro or a worked Maximus 5 blade. With the aggressive drive height I went with the boat likes the 5 blade over the 4 blade unless I spaced down the drive by a 1/2 inch and went with a 4 blade. The 5 blade has better cruise speeds and handles better in rough water with this set up. Cranked the wheel hard today in smooth water at high speeds and the T.S. bottom handled perfect.

Boat left tonight with Tom jr. from Ducky's boats and should be in PA. tomorrow. Retail price on this new 2009 28 SR is $ 159,000 including the custom paint and recessed hull side option. We will also have a base price in the coming days with a 496 HO - 425 HP and no recessed hull sides option.

I had a photographer take pics. today with a model and should have pictures by Friday. I will post them in a few days.

Here are a few that I took !

Happy Thanksgiving,

JO

Really beautiful..would love to buy a new one with a pair of Merc 525..need to save some cash before
Jo, do you know if there are any 28" twin engines for sale around by any chance?
thanks
Nic

Where are you guys getting the 28" and 36" remote control Pantera boats:D:D

I don't think there were even any twin 28' 525EFI Panteras built. There's a few twin 500 boats out there.
