Call manny at TNT. he can tell you a lot about the boat. I think he is in service dept

You can track down Pepe on Facebook and he may know.

Is the boat at a shop? I heard Scott Mander from Intense Marine moved to Quincey,Fl. If he's around , he would be the one to look at it in that area. Good Luck!

i will try to call manny on friday

not on facebook, would prefer to speak to pepe but i think he/ they have a lot on their plate right now

that yellow boat is nice, but there is another option out there for less if the army boat doesn't make the cut, but i'm hoping it does

present owners name is scott,(speed and custom marine) boat is listed in the classifieds

Hopefully your getting it for a lot less then listed . It's had some hull mods that would cause it to be expensive to turn back into a pleasure boat . Pantera used a lot of wood in their builds all the way up to the last one built so just check as best you can to make sure the stringers and transom sound dry and solid . It's been raced , bumped , jumped , and probably turned on its side several times so just look the hull over for cracks .
I use to jump in and just buy projects . Now I do the math first and show the seller the math figures .
$18,000 hull
$7500.00 even for a cheep motor
$5000.00 paint and body
$2000 upholstery
$3000 odds and ends you didn't even know you needed ...
$35000 in a 24 Pantera not the best but not the worst either !
No seller should ever mind you bringing a second set of eyes to look over a boat ..
Good luck , and keep us posted !

For a few more dollars you can get the 28 Black F1 boat. And its turn key, garage kept. With no issues.

Easier to buy a boat that has been well taken care of than to try and bring one back. Often less expensive too!

Most the time you can't even predict the expense till your in the O$hit phase of the build .

One of the cleanest 24 Pantera's ever just got listed for 25K http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...or-o65050.html

That's just gotta be a cool ride being sit down. I bet it's like a mini cig glad!
