i may be getting a pantera. early one. i have found a supe, an excal, and the pantera. the supe has new transom, not cut yet. excal is running and driving. but 396. pantera needs engine. i have 2. maybe i should get all 3!!! then finally answer the question, which is faster. take the same engine and drive and run it in all 3 boats...or maybe not.

Sold the barn find back in August. Its nice and warm snuggled up at the outerlimits factory

With regret, mine is for sale . . .

I'm going to have to register there so I can see the pics, looks to be a real nice one for cheap.

Ok i was kind of cheating. I found this 79 24 sport about 100 miles from me. Found it before i posted this thread. But i wanted to see if there were any other options out there. Hull looks totally solid. No dull sounds when tapping on the transom. 330 trs with gil exhausts. Decent orig interior. Trailer that guy i bought it from sez only got wet 1 time. Orig gel looks good. Almost no dock rash. It is a merc trans. Oh well. Cant have everything. Boy are sport cuddys small. But i didnt get it to sleep on it. Nice long risers. May hafta rethink cam choices in the gen 6 i picked up ahead of time for it. Now i hafta tell the spousal unit i bought another boat...

So post some pictures!

So when are you picking it up???

handed him a check today. it has gotta clear and then i need to look at weather. he doesn't have a problem with it sitting there till the weather breaks worst case.

ok see if this works...http://s1061.photobucket.com/user/vallejo44/library/ the pic of hull comes up ok. the rest come up smaller than thumbnails. i am gonna hafta figure out this photobucket stuff...oh. the rest of the pics ARE thumbnails.

Looks pretty good.
