good looking and great mpg and reliability with those 496 mag's

Could it be Tim G's old boat?

no i think the guy who had that put 500efi's in it

What's it run in current form? HO cam and computer swap isn't that costly

not sure but i would think mid to upper 70's all day . i have herd that the ho boat's with that extra 50 hp each are running low 80's and i don't think 50 hp a side is that much more power for that size boat .

Anybody have any pictures of the Cockpit-Cabin Area and of the Engines? Nice looking Pantera...

Hi MIKEBRIS 81mph turning bravo 1 with 1.50 gears and 28pitch bravo props turning out best so far with twin 496HO . the 24pitch on that boat for sale sounds a little small for top end if it has the 1.50 gears

regards paul

He told me it has seen in the 60's but never really let it streatch its legs or cared to see what it had top end. Sharp looking boat for sure

Math says mid to upper 60s. Might be able to spool 26s though.

With the twin 496 Mag ( 375 HP ) on the non stepped 28' back then speeds were approximately 76-78 MPH on GPS and with the 496 HO - 425 HO 81-82 MPH.

that sound about what I was thinking .

he run's the boat in the bay mostly and just cruise's in the 40 to 50 mph zone , he's not a speed demon like most of us on here :)

with those prop's he has better acceleration and mid range punch , there not for any top end #'s since he could care less about top speed .
you have to set up any boat for the way you drive it .

Very nice, wish I could get mine sold I'd seriously be interested in that one.

Look like it"s gonna need a few bucks put into it.

why would you say that ?

thank's
mike

It should have external steering.

...there we go! i was waiting for this all to begin.
im sure it will "need a few bucks put in to it", IF YOU OWNED IT, to make it however YOU want it to be.
Yes, "it SHOULD have external steering", let me NOT explain why IT DOESN'T.
the fact is that, the boat is COMPLETE, it runs, good, and it is being sold, from a PRIVATE OWNER, what anyone does with it once title is transferred under their name, does not matter or mean anything to me.
for the time being, it is what it is, the boat still belongs to me, i have no plans to make it as you desire, sorry
anyone with offers, the appropriate funds, and interest can take proper steps to get more 411 etcetcetc

well put.. very nice boat got any pics of the interior, engine bay?

I'm not telling you what you should do to it, and every used boat will need something put into it to make it your own.

But IMO, any boat running in the 60s should have full external steering running to the helm for saftely purposes.
No big deal... its like $3000-4000 to get that done.
And thats peanuts when looking at the whole picture of boat ownership.
The boat looks real nice in the pics posted.
Good luck w/ the sale... it is reasonably priced.

Your boat does loook good. I really like the water it is floating in in the pic, it looks sweet.


Tim, you better get that steering put on your boat. LOL

Buy it and make it what you want. Every used boat will need "a few bucks" to make it what the new owner WANTS.

dale check this link out. waterjunkie has a platform for sale for ya!!! im still working on the steering for mine.

What size is it?

still waiting to get an email from the guy with pics and dimensions. i will send it your way when i hear from him

Don't do it dale.

back to the top ! :coolcowboy:

man someone's a little sensitive LOL
I'll give you 35k you throw in the steering and a merc700 :p

Those are not peanuts Storm. Add on $10-15K for new cabin upholstery and trailer. Then theres the 496 mags.......... With what looks like original exhaust. If it was repowered in 2007 and the exhaust is original they will of had 7 years of use in FL. Since there's no hydraulic steering the gimbal rings could be week and will need to be thoroughly checked out........

If you want a new boat then that's what u should get. I think this boat is priced rite for what it is. By the way if u wanted to redue the cabin upholstery your looking at around 5k down here in fl, as far as the steering goes if you where Jo racer I would invest in hydronic for around another 5k . But the boat is a good running boat as is with very litle hours on her.

20 bucks says the pantera sells before the apache

he he.

Does the interior need to be replaced? I don't remember reading that?

nothing like trying to pitch the sale of an apache in a pantera forum.

Post a bunch of pics of your boat so we can pick it apart in the apache forum... Like your doing to this guy who is trying to sell his boat!!! D!ck move

At least the pantera doesnt need arrows painted on the side to show you what direction to go:evilb:

man this section is getting is brutal.

I agree. There are two threads here where people can voice their negativity all they want. But then you have people picking apart boats for sale on other threads. WTF?

Right. I hear enough negativity at work. I come on hear to get a break. Certainly don't want to hear that sh!t on here too.
