Looking for pantera
 

Hey guy im looking to purchase a 24' or 28' pantera single IO power. Looking for freshwater boat 2000 to 2005 range. thank you for your help

the owner of the fullthrottle525 boat was talking about getting rid of his. its 03. 1000hp whippled 540. imco extension box and xr drive with shortie. think he wants big money tho. i will ask him when he gets back from tampa poker run

if you could get the 2007 in the classified's for around $ 50 k, I think you will be doing good

What is your price range? I would think that their will be a good size price jump from a 2000 to 2005.

GOOD?:eekdrop:

that's about what it's worth on a good day , what's the problem . it's going on 7 year's old

I know its only an asking price, which is almost 80k.
But 50k is A BIG drop from 80.
I think you'd be doing a bit more than good...
And the seller would be :(.

If he decides to sell for 50k, I'm All In... I would then be just like 88bullet - I would now own 2 28-Pantera's... :evilb::evilb::evilb:

isn't he trying to sell them ?

yes.... wanna buy one?? or can i interest you in two???

I have to wait on a rough water boat I have a 4 year old that I take boating and I would never get to use the boat like it's supposed to be

Mike my kids grew up going fast . My six year old rides 90+ at least once a day when boating and has for the last two years . Every time I let off the throttle he looks at me and ask why I'm slowing down . My daughter who is now twenty grew up loving to go fast and she is crazy as hell and loves to push the limits , however last time i did a top speed run she said she was over it and just liked to cruise now . That Might have been the bug that exploded on the seat right beside her face . LOL !

I understand going fast that's not the problem . The problem is I would be going fast in the ocean in 3 to 5 footer's jumping from wave to wave at 60 mph :)
that put's a beating on an adult let a lone a 4 year old kid .

when I had my 38 sonic and a friend of mine with a 8 year old had a 36 apache and we went out cruising in 3 to 4 footer's running at 60 mph the wife never stop screaming at him and the kid was bouncing all over the place " not a fun run "
Now in lake water doing 90+ mph is no problem because your not launching the boat every other wave and taking a beating .

and since I owned a 2005 28 I no how it ride's in 3 to 4 footer's at 60+ mph " it's flying " :) all the time

but i bet you had a smile on your face the whole time!! how did it ride compared to your 35 outlaw and 38 fountain?

Yea that make since but I spend 95% of my time raising hell in the inter coastal . Go to a lake every once in a while but the ICW is way calmer and more predictable

you can't compare the bigger boats to the 28 pantera .
the 35 outlaw ran great in 3 to 5 footer's and the 38 sonic I had out a few time's in 5 to 7 footer's both cruising in the 50 to 60 mph range . the outlaw in the same 3 to 5 footer's would stay in the water more then the 28 . and the sonic even better ,
the 28 was a fun boat but it was a driver's boat in anything over 3 footer's . the 28 was blast and sometime's the 35 or 38 got boring in 3 to 4 footer's but the pantera was action packed in that water .
I went out with jo in some nice 6 footer's one day and had to tell him to slow down because by short's where down by my knees " :) :)
" from leaning against the bolster going up and down with every big wave we where airborne off of " you could count the seconds in the air we where flying :)

also the 28 was easier to trailer around then the 35 or 38
