Bearpaw,
I'd like to welcome the new addition to the Pantera family. Beautiful Ride!!!

Hey bear paw,

Congrats on the new Pantera 28!! I hope you enjoy it for many years.I have a Video of the 28 you purchased when it aired on a TV Series called Thunder in Paradise with Hulk Hogan the wrestler. The scene has your boat driven with some pirates in the water that steal jewelery and cash from boaters and a dramatic gun fight begins with your boat and the Thunder in paradise scarab.It last for a few minutes and your boat looks great.

If I can help you with any input on your 28 feel free to call or email me here at Pantera.

Regards, JO:D

Sweet looking pantera! Are the engines the factory merc 475hp turbo motors with the SSMII package?

Thanks Les, Ill have her in the water Sat. Are you comming out this weekend? Thanks for the offer on transportation but some people owe me some favors, got it worked out.

Hey Ironman sorry i was not ignoring you there just done up 454s with lots of goodies 850 dbl pumpers on top stainless dry exhaust:eek: :eek:

I drove a 30' scarab with the merc 475 turbo motors once and it was quite impressive for the 80's Wondered if any of thoose were still around. Someday I will be moving up to a 28. Good luck with it. The Ironman.

Les, were at the end of A Dock. My son and I were out till 10pm last night She runs WELL :D wil try to post pics of engines now.

Nice find there Bearpaw. Kind of what I want for next year. 28', twins, fast, good in the rough also equals smooth in the wakes for her!

The comment about HP475's got me curious. Friend bought an old 1980 Fountain/Garbrecht-Excalibur Executioner 31 project boat that came with HP475's and what I think are #3 drives. They had been freshened up before he got it. The boat's just about ready to put the engines back in after we check them out on Leon Dereberry's dyno up on Lake Texoma. The boat had stainless 5 gal tanks on the firewall for either water or alcohol injection too.

I'd love to know more about these old classics. If anybody could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Are you sure the stainless tank isnt for air assist steering . This boat is clean and for sale at any time GPS 81.

Nice ride Bearpaw !!! Those Panteras love the rough stuff,Dont they!!!!
