New 28 Owner
 
Hey guys. Been lurking on here for a few years. Just picked up my 2004 28 a few days ago. I have spoken with Jo on several occassions. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and Thanks to Jo at Pantera for your help with the purchase. I look forward to getting her out this season. She is in the need of a little TLC. There are a few small issues that I will be addressing over the next few weeks...which I'm sure I will have a lot of questions about. Can't wait for the summer!!!

Chad

Hey congras.... is that your new boat in your avatar?

Viperchad 04-04-2010 09:25 PM

Yes. I believe this was Domz's old boat. I promise to take good care of her...it went to a very good home :) I am a huge gear head and true enthusiast.

Thats good man congrats had my eye on that one..... How did the other one with the single look since i bet you seen it when you were looking at yours

Viperchad 04-04-2010 10:09 PM

To be honest...I didn't take the cover off but it looked pretty nice. I'm pretty sure I know what you can buy it for...talked to the owner about it.

You'll love the boat. And everyone here will help out where they can.

If you ever need anything for it - gauges, rigging etc, let me know and I will help out with $.

Sorry for off topic, but how many boats will pass by before you do your purchase?? Contact JO @ Pantera Boats and he will build you the boat you want!! :)

Congrats Chad to a very nice boat! Is this boat with twin 496?

I know i know...... Thing is im guy who just left a crappy job for a way better one so banks dont like me haing a new job. so price of boats got cut to paying cash or close to it. Plus i reculated for new job. Good thing is im about 7 min from the lake i would be keeping boat on. so im getting closer to the perfect picture.

Dream pantera thats used is the one of PP friends in Fl with single BB race layup with big cat on the side of boat. Some reason that sticks with me BUT know 20k wont take it...... So just dragging feet to find the PERFECT one.
