New 28 Pantera Owner
 

Hi All, I just wanted to share the 28 Pantera I picked up this summer(first boat purchase). It is a 2000 with a 500efi (Freshened up). I have about 20 hours in it and I am enjoying every bit. It handles the choppy water very well. After break-in process, I got it to about 70ish -GPS is probably about mid-high 60's. I am surprised at how stable it is for the boats size. If anyone has any info on the boat, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!

I don't no that boat, Have fun with your boat , it will handle 4 to 6 footer's nicely "most the time in the air" :) chop is nothing for a 28 , if you need any advise on handling just say the word and im sure a bunch of us that have owned or own a pantera will chime in

Hey Matt, I have all the info. you want on that boat. I'm the original owner who traded it in at Ducky's. Congrats on purchase. Guy

How cool is that? 18 years down the track and OSO finds the original owner!
Very nice looking boat. Enjoy. :)

Great Looking Boat and you will Enjoy It...

Hi Squaze, It is very clean and seems very well taken care of (thank you!). Let me know if you have any free time over the next couple days as I would love to learn the full history of this 28. Congrats on trading up to a 36.

Also, is this the boat that was photographed in powerboat magazine off of kitty hawk, Florida keys?

Matt

That is the boat, powerboat mag did the test on the boat right before we took delivery, the it came up hear and went to Philly boat show with Duckys. I still have the mag. your welcome to it. Where you boat out of, I take it the Chesapeake. PM me your number and I'll get ahold of you.

squaz, did you buy the staggered boat ?

No I have the Orange and gray side by side 09

Congratulations great looking boat,hope to see you on the upper Chesapeake.

Sweet Boat.

Very nice well kept pantera, Do you live off of long point rd in Pasadena? Looks like that area.

Hey, I boat off of the bodkin creek by Baltimore. Pasadena Maryland area.

Matt

I’m very familiar, I also leave out of the same creek. We actually put the in right off riverside. Hopefully see you out next year.

Cool looking boat, enjoy it

Is this really the boat from the magazine test? In the magazine did it have a palm tree paint job ?

There was two tests done in Powerboat Mag. on the 28. this is the second one done in I think March of 2000

Very nice looking boat.

Great look Pantera. Congratulations!

Congrats! I think I remember it was for sale at Ducky's!

Hey Matt, let me know if you head up the bay this summer!
