Whats the word on VANILLA's Boat.
 

Just one more pantera with a lost history it think. Whats everyone know about this boat? I was at a rock show with him peforming and he finished and he never signed anything(small bar) Would of loved to see what he did with it or anything? so what do you guys know about this?

I am sure that Pepe & Jo can give us some info on that boat - I think it looks pretty cool and would love to see some more pictures of the entire boat...

maybe they will chime in.

Cool boat, Original HP 465's should be a screamer. It was for sale a while ago by a broker Peter Pakovich sp?? possibly but when I called it was not for sale about 5 years ago. I think that Vanilla sold it to someone and he had it listed with that broker for a while. Heard the 465's were upgraded to HP500 specs on a rebuild. Last I knew it was still in Fl. Of course Jo would know more on this one, what i have here is all second hand. I'd love to see some recent pictures of this one. Chris

was it still in the sweet paint job?

Lenny Cravitz (sp?) was the second owner.

pp.

Rock Singer Lenny Kravitz owned the boat for a year or two after Ice and then the boat was sold to a customer from Maryland in the late 90s. Ice removed all the graphics before selling it to Lenny Kravitz. it was powered by twin Mercruiser 502 - 465 HP and would run in the 86-87 MPH range back then.

I was with Vanilla Ice 2 weeks ago riding Motocross in Palm Beach. It was great speaking to him again !! He told me how much he enjoyed his Pantera 28'.

i tried to buy that boat back in 2000 or 2001 from glenn martin of martin marine. it was lenny k's boat at the time, he had a studio above there shop. the boat was all white, purple interior, purple spider webb on the hatch. cool boat! he accepted my offer then they told me the bank had been looking for the boat and it dissapeared. could have been bs so they could renig on the deal, not sure. 35k was the deal. the boat showed up at duckeys marine in pa shortly after.

thats crazy seems like the panteras seem to be worth the same amount of money as 5 years ago. so i gueess its a bit more info on the boat still seem crazy that Lenny K. would not have cash for that kind for boat>???

Keep up the info. thanks.

So Pa was last known location. Any news where it is today?
