Default Need help on 24

Hi, I am new in pantera boats but I m very confident on the brand.
I buying a 1994 24' , it is on a trailer, it looks that the steps (keel) bends on the wood of the trailer (very little) on both sides. Some friends tell me that is normal because it needs a little flexibility. It is normal.? It has a 396 motor, bravo 1. How fast can go? Thanks.

Congrats, and welcome to the family.
Post some pics - it'll be easier for us to help you from there.
Where are you from - don't take it the wrong way, but your English seems a little difficult. We welcome everyone with a love for these boats, so don't take that the wrong way.

The tank on a 24 is under the cockpit floor.
All aluminum and foamed in place.
If you need to remove the tank, you're in for a pretty big job.
Post more info on the boat you're looking at, chances are that someone here knows it.

Tank buoy should be under the rear seat, open the engine hatch and look forward under the rear seat you should see it there.

Like your Av
Yes, it's under the cockpit floor.
If you get in through the engine hatch, you can access the fuel hook-ups, on the Aft side of the tank. All the hook-up's are accessible under the rear seat.
I've spent enough time crawling in the bilge of mine.
Seeing as it's sitting in the driveway, I went out and took a few pics.

Few more - hope this helps.

It's not as tight as it looks in the pics, but you're not gonna get the tank out without a saw, and major rework.
