The race setup is really nice when things get rough. You are held in the boat so well you can really concentrate on what you are doing.
I have always found that race prepped Panteras are unique in that they are like little single engine baby race 41 Apaches, as far as under 30ft single screw boats go. Basically the same idea on a much smaller scale. I have really enjoyed mine. The race setup is a tradeoff, as most things are with any boat, but for pure running from point A to point B with 2-4/5 people it is nice and you will find people pay alof of attention to it around the docks (even owners of much more expensive boats).
So if you were looking for a runner that looks cool and performs as an "offshore boat" should you will love it. Just be ready on the throttle because if that thing is anything like mine it is going to love flying through the air at high speed.

Adam,
Funny you say that, because this is the boat that hooked me on this cockpit style.
I do plan on mostly using the boat from A to B.
This gives me the ability to carry the family or another couple(or 2), and some room to anchor an chill.
No need for a cabin or overnighting for me.
