the first pantera?
 

are the whereabouts of the first boat known?

Bottom of the atlantic , full of bullet holes and the bow still full of cargo !

:poopoo:

for real?????

i would have figured that was a few of the later boats. :evilb:

so nobody knows what became of the #1 hull?

i dont think the cargo is any good anymore... vaccum sealing technology wasnt the best back then...lol

I don't think anyone even has an accurate answer to HOW MANY 24's were built, let alone where hull #1 is...

what year would it be, when was pantera started?

I think 1974 but 100% sure.

the first boat is a 1975 as far as i know. it's the boat with the rounded deck in the pantera picture forum on the pantera website.

Anyone know when the last 24 was built? Was it the army race boat?

The Army boat was built before the Black Pearl . BP is an 07 and I think i saw an 08 listed for sale some ware .

I would agree

interesting stuff. the guy i bought #2 from actually tried to buy #1 but when he called on the for sale add pepe had for the #1 boat it had just sold.

my friend ( the original owner of my boat, #2) said that pepe told him to come down to miami as he was right in the middle of the second boat. it was to be a red white and blue theme for the bicentennial but ended up being red/black and white as the original owner didn't want a red, white and blue boat.

i'd love to find out what happened to the first hull.

also, it would be cool to find out where # 3 and #4 (both supposedly round deck models and the last of the round decks) ended up. :evilb:

As far as I know the first was sold to a guy in Washington, think he still has it, I saw it when it was having a resto done at the factory

cool to know it is still in existence. i'd love to see some pictures of the restoration.
