Video Link of the new Pantera 41' "P1 Edition"
Here is a video link of the new Pantera 41' taken the 1st time the boat hit the water.

Wanted to make the video longer with some Ocean footage but the 4 blade props we tested to get a baseline were too small off of the original "Warpath" owned by my friend JC.The 32' pitch 4 blade were all over the rev limiters with the drives tucked in and over 25 % of throttle left. So I did not bother to test anymore until the following day.
I could not get the gentelman that took this video to come out again the following day on such a short notice as we tested the 5 blade Mercury Racing props that Mercury Factory REP.
( Brad Halpin ) brought along to test that ran much faster and accelerated perfect.
We will add more to this video in the coming weeks with some race footage from Europe as the new 41' makes its racing deut next week in Sardinia, Italy.
By the way the new 41' got weighed today at 10,500 pounds with 20 gallons of fuel in the tanks. P1 requires the boat to come in at 10,400 pounds at the end of the race so we are on it.
