way cool!

Jo My pics are too dark, your seem to work! I've seen this bad boy in person, it will get more attention than any other F2 the black is bad ass. I would want black on my boat but for your factory boat it's the only way!

What's the latest news? Is the construction progressing?

What will she get for Power? Can you run the new 525s in F-2?

Looks Great Jo
 

Hope all is well with you and the family. The boat looks great.

My 24 is almost dialed in, running strong and fast...thanks to all of your help and Pepes help!!

Post more pictures when you can and stock up on wax...that black looks great, but fades quickly without protection!!

Hey Lake Front,

Yes,we are progressing very quick and should be racing in August.I just want the boat to be dialed in and ready when it hits the first APBA national.WE are all putting our heads together and working as a team to ensure the boat will be a winner.


Hi Pat,

The boat will be powered with the Mercruiser 525 EFIs.If you go with the 525 EFIs compared to the 500 efis APBA requires that you add an additional 600 pounds of weight.We will need to make a weight of 8400 pounds after the race without crew.

I will keep you all updated in the next couple of weeks.


Regards,

JO

Hey Kirk,

I am glad to know your 24 is running good.

We have always built our Factory Pantera Race boats in black gelcoat.My Fathers first 24 Pantera race boat Mr. Macho in 1975 was Black hull with a white deck.Then My father went to going all black except for the 24 he raced and Broke the Miami to New York Record with in 1978.That 24 was silver and black.

The black gelcoat will normally be 50 degrees warmer out in the sun compared to a white gelcoat boat.

The black gelcoat finish with the big flourescent cat eyes looks intimdating while out on the race coarse.:D

Regards,

JO
