Bluethunder,
Your Info is simply not correct. I currently own a Pantera 24' and it is one of the most solid rough water powerboats out there. To Compare: Handles better to me than my friends 30' Cig Mystique in rough water, Pantera wont nose dive. Handles better than my 31' 2001 Stamas with 2 x225 saltwater yamahas. The boat is excellent. Pepe & Jo (owners) are 2nd to none in standing behind there product. They keep there word, and they incourage there boats for rough water use so i dont know what your talking about or where you got your information but its WRONG. Plain and simple.

-regards
