Every time I go out, I think the same thing.

seems it would be very tuff to get out, or with a pasenger on ea side. Especially in a hurry.

LOvethe boat though. I remember how bad I wanted it when it came up for sale a few years back, but it was just bad timing and a long haul to Forida. Nice job N.L., is it the only Pantera on LOTO? JAIME

I spent some time running a center steer 22 Velocity race setup and I liked the way that you are basically right at the center of gravity in the boat and can read the rough water really well in all directions.

This boat doesn't have much practical use at all. It's only made for one thing.:riding:

As far as only Pantera on LOTO...hard to say. I know a guy in IL that has a 24 he runs somtimes...also a rare 24. There used to be a race 28 OB boat. The blue 36 from Iowa used to run here. I think Griff used to run his 28 here (I've only heard this, never seen). However, as far as I know, this is the only full time boat that lives here. I would love to know otherwise. Only other Pantera I've seen here was a black 24 back in the day named "Wicked". 420 Mercruiser engine w/ Bravo and Keikhaefer mufflers. Jo has pics of this boat at
188th St. I think it was a Dahl boat (dealer in Peoria, IL at the time).

Bingo,

It is a skinny boat, and not too hard to get out from either side.

Might have to change in the future and go w/inserts only. No matter how many times I try not to, I keep cracking my head on them (taking out bilge plug or working on drive). They hurt.

She's great, and I'm taking good care of her - she has the largest footprint in the garage.
I love AZ, but I had a bit of a medical issue that has slowed me down working on her - but, not a day goes by that I don't put a hand on her.

Your boat looks great - should be lots of fun, and a lot of chit-your-pants moments:poopoo:
But, that's whaT IT'S ALL ABOUT!
