Well, nothing to post yet. It was Disney this weekend and last weekend getting my Sea Ray Sundancer ready to sell. The Sea Ray is on the lift I want to put the Pantera on. This next weekend I will get it in but may not hit 10 hours- break in. I'll have to take it easy.
It is spotless though and ready to go!

Thanks, for all the great pictures, Pantera makes a beautiful boat, and I like the big eyes look. Its kind of hypnotizing, "Come buy a Pantera."

I think it is still waiting on a motor based on what I read on another thread, at least that is my guess.

Hey guys,
No good news to report here yet. Put on a 28 Four blade and 4000 rpms with a full tank . Running very rich also.
Boat is awsome to drive though. I love it.
Unbelieveable how well it cuts through rough water compared to my last Donzi
28ZX with twins.
Problem is the boat has not been fine tuned.(hopefully) I wasted alot of time thinking it would be fine while I waited on my prop and did some other things.
There are not many people around here that I am comfortable with to work on it.
They should be on it next week. I have been looking at some other engine options if this engine does not put out 550 to 575hp.
Von, how much rpm & speed difference did labbing your 28 make?
I'll keep you posted,
Greg

Ironman, Holley 850 with primarys 2 jet sizes over and 4 jet sizes over on secondaries according to the builder. It does not have a notched transom. Fair amount of soot on the transom after running several hours.

I am not sure what the carb comes with initially but I have had good luck with 80's in the primary and 85's in the secondary with a power valve or 92's without. That is in a 509" hyd roller engine. Did you sea trial before you bought it, how did it run then?
Oh did I say that is a great looking boat.
