I will put 250-300 hours on my boat a year I will build a motor every year Ive got 1000 plus hrs in a performance boat . I want to talk about boats not debate Panteras biz .Already done 4 poker runs this year How about you dock rocker ??Give me something interesting you have done to your boat lately!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

You're my hero! :rolleyes: I'm not sure what the number of hours you put on your boat, how often you build a motor, or how many poker runs you've attended have to do with the subject of the thread (or with me, for that matter - last time I checked, this thread was entitled "Hey Full Throttle 525", not "B-Stubb wants to hear interesting things about dockrocker's boat but we're not sure why"), but if posting about that sort of thing cocks your six-shooter, more power to ya.

I'm going to assume, since I've never questioned Pantera's "biz", let alone debated it, that you're directing those comments to someone else (hint, putting the screen name of the poster that questioned Pantera's "biz" might help you get a response).

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Cant win Im done

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Does dock roker even have a boat??

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

And again I ask, what does that have to do with this thread? Maybe you should start a thread in General Discussion about whether people have boats or not? In fact, send Steve a note, maybe he set proof of ownership as a condition for purchasing memberships!

OK folks, new rules - per B-Stubb, no replies to a thread about custom boat delivery unless you own a boat. How are these two issues related, you ask? Well, the phrases "custom boat delivery" and "own a boat" both have the word "boat" in them. I hope I've captured the relevent points as succinctly as Mr. Stubby.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Ron lives a block from me we talk on the phone I dont need a web site to talk to him /you dont even have a boat youre just causeing trouble

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Um, OK. Let's recap, shall we? This thread was started to discuss some purported issues with Pantera's performance re: delivery dates. A lively discussion about this issue was in progress when you posted something (?) about a boat being tuna'd or some damn thing - still not any clearer now than when you originally posted it. At the time, I asked for a clarification of your comments. My post was intended to be tongue-in-cheek; perhaps it did not appear that way to you, but that is unknown from your subsequent posts. You responded with yet more confusing posts and frankly irrelevent claims as to what you do or do not do with your boat/engines/poker runs, etc etc. In addition, you started in on me regarding whether or not I currently own a boat.

Now, Stubby, in your latest post you talk about "Ron" - since I have no idea who this person is, I'm going to assume that it has some relation to the topic of this thread (though your past posts leave significant room for doubt in this area, but I digress...).

Let's see if I can put it succinctly:

1. Your post re: boat tuning (your boat?) have no obvious relevence to the discussion at hand, whether or not Pantera has or had a problem delivering boats "on-time".
2. You declined or were unable to clarify this comment, instead responding with more gibberish about the number of times you've rebuilt an engine and how many hours you have in a boat. Unless you're Pantera's engine building, I'm not making the connection to the whole delivery-date subject.
3. In similar fashion, I'm not sure what attacking me has to do with the thread subject, other than perhaps a Clinton-esque ploy to divert the thread?
4. Ditto the comments on whether I currently own a boat or not. Not real sure how this is relevent to the discussion, unless you are implying that I have a Pantera on order and it has not been delivered yet? Subtle, but I'll have to say that such is not the case; no Pantera on order for me, thus no possibility of a missed delivery date and no relevence to the subject of this discussion.
5. Again - I'm sensing a pattern here - I fail to understand how the location of "Ron's" house and your ability to speak to him on the telephone ties in to this thread, but I'm willing, even eager, to be enlightened.

Maybe I'm just a dumb ol' redneck, but I just can't seem to connect the dots as outlined above - since B-Stubb is apparently unwilling or unable to do so, anyone else want to take a shot? Bueller?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey dockrocker:

I don't know you either, but apparently you have upgraded yourself from Unofficial Ball-Buster to Official Ball-Buster...Congratulations!!

Now, could you please easeoff your Ballbreaking on B-Stubb or Stubby as you prefer to call him. This thread was orginally started by an observation from a fellow OSO member relative to the delivery of my boat. Although some of us may have difficulty putting into words what they are thinking, it doesn't necessarily mean that we don't know what we are talking about.

For example, Stubby was referring to his ability to take an engine & boat combination that originally ran at 73 mph and with his ability now runs 85. This is his way of saying, which he should have just come right out and asked you, what knowledge do you personally have of offshore powerboating, engines, props, Pantera or any other manufacturer for that matter? And, what contributions can you offer to the Thread? FYI..I personally don't care whether people on this board use proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc...to get their point across.

You had posted to Stubby's comments, but never commented on the just of the post itself. So in his way, I believe, he wanted to know if you know anything, anything at all besides Ball Busting. I do not believe we should continue any further conversation relative to someone's inability to communicate as effectively as you would like. I know you'll respond to this and wouldn't expect anything less.

Fire away.... Me :blaster: You

Ron

As stated previously by Full Throttle 525-------

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

SWEET! Someone besides me is getting yelled at on this thread!! :crazy:

Seriously - B-Stubb, I am curious how you picked up that much speed. X dimension changes, drive, ??

I'll be happy to momentarily change the topic while everyone calms down.....but only for a bit!! ;)

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

ROFLOL!! That's a good one.

Ya'll all very entertaining, but...four pages and one month later...can somebody answer my question in post #1 :confused:

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Naw, what fun would that be?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

thanks b stubb,ill try props when i get mine but the other stuff sounds advanced and i would not want to mess with it.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Turboed:

There is one really important difference between B-Stubb's boat and other Pantera 28's...he is one of three that have a notched transom. Similar to the raceboat. Only he and JO can tell you if it makes a big difference if you used same horsepower but one has a notched transom. Which one is faster?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Indy:

In response to your latest post...

I received an email from Pepe Wednesday that said I should get the boat SOON..

All I can do is wait patiently.

Ron

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Jesus H. Christmas FT 525 - B-Stubb is your neighbor and obviously knows how to work on boats. Pick your boat up and have him install the bolsters!! I bet if he can do the advanced performance mods he's talking about, he can probably bolt in a couple seats! For that matter, I'll come up and screw 2 upside down drywall compound buckets in. We could sit on them as we cruised around :p

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

You know... on further thought. I have some top quality Syroco green lawn chairs from Wal Mart that I'll even donate to you and screw down. Then we could really cruise in luxury!! :D

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Notice my use of the word "we". I'm still hoping for a ride!!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I have the facility and the ability to do most anything Time is the factor that I dont have . Im sure Pantera is able to put a boat together..

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey guys:

I spoke with JO yesterday and it looks like they will be firing the engine today and if all goes well....I'll be boating soon.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I will say some prayers......

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

FT525, That's great news, What kind of speed are you expecting out of this boat?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I'm hoping for low to mid 70's...we have so much snot in the Sound that the Pantera is a great ride for that type of water..

Can't wait to dance in the street!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Guys:

We are getting close....

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Very Nice! Whens Splash Down??

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hoping for this coming weekend... :D

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I can't wait to see your boat up close and personal.
The classic lines along with Old Glory are the perfect combination...
Good Luck! and please let us know when she's up here in the north land. :cool:

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Ron, whats up? Are you in yet?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

The factory says a possible splash today!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

You have the first 525 Pantera I want pics & speeds, no excuses! Don't even think about holding out on us!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

come on now -- spill the beans!!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Update?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Guys:

I didn't hear anything from the factory as of the end of the day yesterday. Maybe I'll hear something today. Will keep everyone posted.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Guys:

2912 views and 131 posts...Boy, my boat and I are sure popular....wait until I get it and see how many views I get!!! Right now I'm trying to organize a Pantera owners, on the water, get together sometime in July or August for those in the proximity of LIS/Connecticut.

Anybody interested?

Ron

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I'd consider it, but hard to get away from the PREGO wife for that long.
Keep me posted! I'll be coming to Westport sometime in July.
That should give you plenty of time to get her north Ron.
