Hey scippy. My boat is heavy. I'm guessing 2000 pounds or so bare. I never weighed it but it definitely has mass.

I sanded the bottom paint off my 75 searay micro hotrod and shot it with ppg concept on my back. Never again!

If you can weld, you can fab up this rotisserie in a few evenings. Like I said, I'll give this one away when done if y care to drive to Ohio to pick it up. Probably a month or so before I'm done.

Have a good day all, rob.

Just dropped off my complete interior at xt-innovations.
After talking with Dave and his people, I knew I was in the right place.

Hi, out of curiosity, I have same boat and mine was converted years ago by previous owner to outboard on a bracket. I have same deck layout, looking at Pantera website, can't find any pics of that configuration. I ask as my boat never came with a title or any hin #s, so I am not sure if mine is a Pantara, Superboat or Excliber.. Mine is identicle to yours. I don't have any pics of mint to upload just yet.

It highly unlikely it's a pantera. They only made the first 4 boats with the rounded deck (Excalibur style deck).

Mine is #2 and has the HIN hand stamped in the transom. WCW is the HIN prefix for a true pantera and unless it's there, you likely have one of a different manufacturer.

Still a cool boat but unlikely a pantera.

Have a good night, rob

Also, if you look closely at the "history" page on the pantera website, you will notice the #1 boat has the rounded deck.

Hi, my stiffiners along the stringers look similar to yours, ill try to get some pics today if I have time.. When I ground off all the old gelcoat from previous owner , I found a yellow boat, entirely inside and out, with a red stripe down the deck and top of transom.. Nice bright colors, just the gelcoat was too old to be saved. I wanted to rotisserie the boat, but didn't have the set up you had.

Hull 001 looks straight not curved on the deck, however your hin says all
