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

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.
