Awesome pics Jo ... thanks for posting them up that takes time. I'm thinking maybe a 2009 30 year anniversary price rollback sale to 1979???

Can't even purchase most standard Mercruiser big block package's now for that 1979 retail price these days.:p

Jo/Pp.,

appears another 28 made its way to the Emerald City (Pantera North!)

Great pic's; thanks for posting.

Thanks for the pic.

Here are a few pictures of B-24.I built this 28' in 1994 to race in B-class at the time with triple 2.5 Mercs. Gail Paik did the custom paint work. It then headed to Puerto Rico in Early 1995.Great running boat !!!

The Pink Panther 28' race built back in the mid 1980s.Powered by triple Mercury outboards.

Early 90s Pantera 24 SE located in Puerto Rico.

1992 Pantera 28' C.C. located in Puerto Rico. Powered by twin Yamaha 250 outboards.

Pantera 38' built back in 1991 while located in 188 st.

Picture was taken in 1988 at Englishtown, N.J.. Rocky Aoki owner of Benihana is in this picture with my father and I.

Be careful ther Albert your going to give my age to all these boys.... :rolleyes:

Yeah right! you are a lot younger than Jo :cool-smiley-027:

Hey Jo...Any old LittleFish pics....i am still kicking myself for letting it go...would have been perfect for twin 300xs setups....say hi to your dad for me....John/Jake150

Sounds like a deal to me.... :food-smiley-007::drink:

Here are a few more pics.

The black and gold 1977 24' was powered by twin Mercruiser 165 HP 6 cylinder motors. The Red and white 24' was powered by twin Mercruiser 260 HP motors.

The M-24 pic. was taken at Pt. Pleasant beach race in 1978.

JO

hey wow!...thanks for the pic trip down memory lane....I was at a bunch of those races as a young'n.

My dad talked about a Pappy Pantera when I was real young....I remember having some black and silver Pantera stickers..we lived in Kendall back then...

After all this time, Pepe Pantera is still here! :eek:

What a great thread!

Trying to dig up more pics of this one if anyone knows of it. This boat appears to have been repainted 4 or 5 times lol

fantastixvoyage congrats on the ride!
I recently aquired a retired OPA 24' "XFactor"
that I will soon start redoing. Maybe we can finally get a Pantera reunion for next season and bring everyone together.

Congrats as well!

Boat seems solid but will know more thru the weekend. If she's not too bad off I'm shooting to make the OPA Orange Beach race. Lots to do but from what I can tell these boats are well worth it. Keep us abreast of your progress.

let me know about the reunion i have a pantera in fl, and in mi.

Where in Fl, I am up for a reunion any weekend:drink:

Yes to the Pantera reunion here! I am central, but willing to travel. If anybody needs a "regatta" so to speak, it should be PANTERA! I have heard people talk...lets do it in 2011! Can we make it official? I'd like Jo and Pepe to chime in here. Let's organize, get it together, and make it happen! Willing to help in any way I can to get it going. Let's get a quick poll on here. Who would be in for the 1st annual 2011 PANTERA get togehter. Me for vote 1. Now...location?:circle:

I'm in from NC !

Hey guys lets get the ball rolling for weekend of races in Orange Beach Alabama next month! Bon Jovi and Brad Paisely in concert, ridiculous hotel specials, poker run and two days of OCEAN racing!!! :evilb:

I am seriously up for a Pantera Rally in 2011....I will start a seperate thread to gauge interest, location and dates.

Maybe first year say Destin/Ft. walton or Panama City. Fl? If it goes good 2012 in Miami. Maybe 2013 Michigan or something...just thinking out loud.

I am down, so long as it is within a 12 hour or so ride, I am not much for trailering lon distances.

my 24 is in sarasota

Do you have an old 24 raceboat...Double Cross?

i do have the old double cross boat it is hanging from the cieling in my bar in lake orion, mi. i have a white with burgandy interior 1978 24 pantera in sarasota with opa! graphics on the sides.

Too cool! I have to ask...pics of "Double Cross"? Old or new? What year is the "Double Cross" boat? Did you race it at one time? What does or did it run for power?

Thanks for the vid Nick!

Here's the No Limits boat running in Palm Beach '95
