Anyone else seen this 1991Pantera Sport converted to OB for sale in Tequesta, FL. It looks like they kept the original wood dash panel with updated gages. Pretty cool. It’s definitely one of the most unique conversion to OB I’ve ever seen. The one downside is it will be severely underpowered. Takes alot of horses to get these sticky hulls moving along at a decent pace. I owned the last IO Sport built in 2003 (TMones orig boat) and Jo said that one OB Sport they built with the Yamaha 250 was a 50 mph boat. I’ve tried to post the YouTube video but having no luck. One site has many pics. With some new full hull side Pantera Cat eyes this thing would be incredible looking. The YouTube video is listed under 1991 Pantera Sport for Sale in Tequesta, Florida.

The two tone is not a bad idea. A black deck would be brutal.

It’s actually gray SeaDek with the longboard wood pattern thats also in the cockpit. A more custom pattern would have been nicer. There are many pics on one of the boat brokerage site but I wasn’t sure if posting would violate the sites rules.

Long time, no chat ING.... the modern 4 stroke on the back of a 24 is ideal these days. A friend bought Pepes brand new 24 and rigged it with a 350hp mercury and they are running 70 mph the first time out. They are going to do some prop testing, they also have a several different ECM tunes to keep bumping the hp. The boat is very happy. They have the engine mounted to the transom. The boats get a bit wierd with big setbacks.

Outstanding scoop! Thanks. I’ve been out of performance boating for a few years. Would love to see how that boat turned out and rigged.
