All I can say is I was at the factory in November and they were working on a 36,41 and a 28.So I don't know why but I would question it being fact.

Yep,Pantera will sell you a dare hull,spoke with Joe about buying a hull a couple of years back.

it just looks funny that Duckys is a Pantera Dealer and has Checkmate rig Pantera boats..
it would be hard for Duckys to sell me that boat on Panteras racing history when Pantea didnt even rig it..to me its not a TRUE Pantera.

Sorry dont mean to side track thread

It is my understanding that Checkmate is doing it all. The pics that I saw was just after the engines had been installed.

Checkmate was able to turn the boat around faster making it a one of a kind custom boat. The boat is 100% immaculate. It also allows Pantera to start building other boats sooner.

Makes no sense,Pantera is in the business to built boats,
Dont want to take a cheap shot at any boat manufacture but I allways looked at Checkmate as a production boat builder and Pantera as a custom boat builder.

checkmate is a certified mercury installer . i think you get an year extra warranty on the powertrain. pantera is about the best IMO , but maybe checkmate gave Tom jr. (duckys) a great price to complete the boat. i guess Tom had a good reason. http://www.mercurymarine.com/service...c-boat-brands/

Eventually "every" boat will be re-rigged by someone other than the original builder. As long as it's done "right" that's what ultimately matters.
