95.3 MPH On GPS First Sea Trial !!! 35 Survivor
 

Hey Pantera Fans and proud owners,

We Just got back from running the 35 Survivor,It Survived!!On our first run out in 88 dergree weather in flat water conditions in the bay spinning 34 Pitch Bravo 1 4 blades at 5300 rpm we saw on a GPS 95.3 MPH.It ran like if it was on rails and looks awesome.I will post photos in the next couple of days.Wait until you see the pictures.The motors have a real 650 HP with 700 ft. pounds of torque.The 6 man bolster and sun pad look outrageous when you look down on it.Regards, JO

Kick Ass :D

Can't wait for the pictures.

Jo, what motors are you running in there?

Hey HP 500 EFI,

The Motors are 588 CI aluminum block single carburated with CMI Exhaust.The motors made 650 HP with 700 ft.lbs of Torque.They turn 5300-5400 RPM and have an 8 1/2 to 1 Compression.I feel I still have 2-3 MPH since the props are not lab finished and I want to try a few small changes.I am really impressed since this was a non step version, a full 24 degree deep v.It accelerated really hard with the torque these motors put out.I will post photos on Monday if all goes well.This boat is Available for a customer to purchase.If any body intertested call me here at Pantera or email me at [email protected].:D Regards, JO

Congrats Jo,

Can't wait to see the pics!!!
That six man bolster must be SWEET.....:D

It sounds great. Mrs. Thirsty Turtle is in love with it....and she hasn't even seen it yet!

Sounds like a great ride JO.

Ya gotta be happy with that!

Hey Fred.
The motors were built by Rick at Expert engines in Hollywood, Fla.They ran really nice! They idle at 700 rpm all day long and run on pump gas.What is so nice is the torque they produce which gives the boat its awesome acceleration.
Hey Thirsty Turtle,
The owner of this 35 is a good freind of mine and he told me if a customer is interested in purchaseing this boat he would cosider selling it and building another 35 to race in F2 class.The boat has 1 hour of running time and is stored hear at my Factory.I will post photos in the beginning of the week.Regards and Happy Easter to all. JO:D

Congratulations Jo those are some awesome numbers!
If you ever need ballast on one of your sea trials, I’ll stuff myself with Big Macs and be right down.
