Taking another roadtrip!!
 
Not for me this time but Im going to take a look at a 28 pantera with a good friend of mine this weekend. we are leaving tonight around 1am. gotta stop at my friends shop for a few hours in the morning to do a little horse trading then a half hour ride to take a look and hopefully drag the boat home. lets all wish Karl (216convinsor) good luck with his first big boy boat!!

Stormrider 03-28-2014 09:48 AM

Sweet, hope it works out. What does it have for power and what did you like most about the twin compared to his other two singles. How about the Saber your guys buddy has it looks nice? Did you ride in it, how was it in comparison?

I heard 315duramax will move it cheap, then build you a 46 skater! Right after he figures out how the steering and throttles work in the cafe lol

so? hauling it back home?

216convinsor 03-28-2014 11:58 PM

On our way now t-minus 7 hours and counting.

216convinsor 03-29-2014 12:04 AM

The extra weight and power is perfect for the upper niagara river. Tim's first pantera single had a ton of prop slip and never wanted to plane out. The twins are just perfect for crushing waves. Extra weight feels good not as squirrelly as single. Plus if I have an issue I can hopefully make it back to shore on one motor and plane out.

JAIME 03-29-2014 01:08 AM

i remember when that boat was listed. looked very clean and taken care of. nice buy

88bullet 03-29-2014 01:39 AM

Lets hope it is. We are on our way. 4 hours to go

216convinsor 03-29-2014 03:57 AM

100 miles to go!!!!

216convinsor 03-29-2014 06:24 AM

216convinsor 03-29-2014 06:25 AM

Craney 03-29-2014 06:39 AM

With just a little research and time i have tim's first pantera running real nice, cruses in the upper 50's top's out in the 70's, jump's on plane and flies nice and level when the lake gets snotty, it's like a different boat :cool-smiley-011:

not even close! more than a "bit" rough. it's a shame that people don't take care of their expensive investments

88bullet 03-29-2014 01:15 PM

At least the day wasn't a total loss.. got a lot of boat parts bought and sold today!!

Sunrocket24 03-29-2014 06:43 PM

That 28 twin looked so clean in the pictures! I'm not a fan of yellow engines, but what are the major problems with it?

88bullet 03-29-2014 08:36 PM

Still driving... hour and a half to go

offshorexcursion 03-29-2014 09:06 PM

Oh man that sucks to get your hopes up and not be able to bring her home!

The best deal on the entire market for a wave crusher right now is Chris 28 Saber! The engines ALONE are worth his asking price.

Chris is a good guy. If i didnt have a crazy dream of owning the F1... i would have bought it. Had go go with my gut and stick with a dream.

Stormrider 03-31-2014 09:35 AM

You could always try Austin who owns the 28 w/ the twin sbc's down in the Bahamas.
