Jo-?'s for you
 

Jo,

Are you familiar with either of these boat? They are both down in your neck of the woods. I don't like to bug sellers unless I'm ready to buy. So I though I'd see if you have see either of them resently.

Also, I know you explained the difference between a 24 sport and 24 SE. I was wondering which model had a bigger v-berth bed? I understand the cuddy is bigger in a SE but I just need a bed and wondered if one was bigger.

Thanks Brian:)

Hi Brian,

The 1985 24 Sport is owned by Angel the moderator of the Pantera section on this board.I would email him directly.It is structurely sound.He is a great guy to talk to and very helpful.

The other is a 1981 that I just saw this weekend powered with a 600-650 HP big block and TRS drive.I saw it from a distance this weekend (Boat to Boat) but looked clean for an 81 model.The motor sounds strong.This boat was for sale at a Marina in Ft. Lauderdale and sold a few weeks ago.A friend of mine has the boat now and is doing a new 3 man bolster for it.It was originally a race boat so it does not have a cabin or back seat.It has the rear bulkhead moved forward with a long engine compartment.It suppose to run 82 MPH.

The SE model does offer more room in the cabin and more pleasure friendly.The V-berth is the same length in both models approximately 6 1/2 feet.

I hope this answer your questions.

Jo you are the best!!!

Is" Angel" "pantera24" then. I really like that boat. But the motor/engine combo really doesn't appeal to me. What can you tell me about the 280 penta drive.

I definatly want a pleasure vertion so.

I don't think I'm gonna be to fussy them. As long as i have a bed I'll be happy :D

Hey Brian,

Email me and I'll send you more info. and pics on the boat.

Thanks

280 OK
 

The 280 is a great drive, Merc basically copied the cone clutch when they designed the bravo. It can handle a mild big block(to about 425hp) if properly cared for and not abused. Good luck.

Hey Brian,
I have a 24' Pantera for sale that has been totally refurbished. I have pics available and can email you if your interested. But basically a white bottom with red freeboard and a white top. It has red interior with red 3man bolsters in the rear. Also a custom 454 EFI w/ 420 HP and 460 Torque. It has a rebuilt TRS tranny and outdrive and runs 68mph. Email me at [email protected] for "?"
