28 history
 

any one know the history on this 28 panatra

That may be Dude Sweet's boat.

Yup that's Shawn's boat....one word BADASS

where has shawn been? havent seen him post around here.

What Rideslow77 really wants to know is ! Was there a outboard 28 with the same paint scheme as that boat????????????? Seems to have been a common pattern ..

funny, joe shmoe :lolhit: why dont you find some info on that 28 im picking up!!

Doesn't it look like I'm working on it . Sorry I told you the snow was done . Didn't know it was going to get that bad before we got home .

So you are picking up a the boat pictured in the first post? you give us some more info?

I talk to him a few times a week, he has been doing the family thing playing with this cars and shifter carts. Last i talked to him about the boat, it was going to be put in to storage and stay there till thing calm down.

No more info to give , He's gay and that was the only boat he found a picture of that had pink on it so he thought he could chase it down .

Nope, that's not Sean's...

The two pictures of C-69 are though

Pepe told me that it originally had small blocks in it.

Dunnoit C69 is a nice ride and was yours right? The other day I went through the post on serious and all 140 pic's of when you rerigged it. I was hoping to find when you bought it was it already converted for a single? Where did the extra room come from for the six pack seating? I couldnt tell by comparing the pic's i had. Also where is C69 weight wise? I know its an older boat but was it possibly one of the lighter hulls Pantera made? Thanks, Jaime

Thought I replied to this yesterday, sorry about that.

It was already converted when I bought it from Ray. I believe the owner before him did it. In the old pictures you can see there was a pretty long flat area before you got to the "windscreen slope" then the forward deck. It was cut out and the three man was moved forward. Then another 3-man bolster was put in behind that one. I can't remember what the weight was, I think I had something about it on my "Progress" thread. I could only weigh the truck/boat/trailer and then just the truck and had to guess on the trailer weight. It felt similar in weight (SOTP feeling) as my '96 (the one that used to be Sean's and Griff's before that). Performance with the same motor was very similar, so I figure the weight probably was too.

Opps that's right that pics looks familiar haha.....anyways both are bad ass any 3 pack or 6 pack Pantera is bad ass

One is gray with blue stripes (Shawn's boat) and was a 1985 or 1986 model orig. w/ United Racing small bocks/TRS and run by Mike Thomas (I think) of TNT. Now is cut for single drive. The other, I think, is an 1988 model that broke and sunk around 1992-1993. It too had small block/TRS.

I think Pepe told me it had 3a's on it.

You might be right. But now that I think about it, think they were SSM 2s.
