What about Lake George?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Guys:

I guess I'm not the first 525EFI...looks like Greg (Pantera 572) has that honor. I hope he posts his speeds.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

WildThing:

I can't tell you how upset I am that I don't have my boat yet and that I'm not the first 525EFI. When you got your boat in February of this year I was told I was next...it is now June 3rd and I still don't have my boat. I have tried to keep my posts upbeat and positive, but now...I give up!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I hate to say it but I will....

I TOLD YOU SO

I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR YOU. I WILL PM YOU THE NAME OF A PLACE IN FLORIDA THAT HAS HAD TO FINISH OTHER BOATS THAT PANTERA CAN'T KEEP THEIR COMMITMENT ON, AS WELL AS WHERE YOU CAN GET THE EXACT BOLSTERS IF THEY STILL AREN'T IN.

What a shocker :rolleyes:

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

so close yet so far away :(

Hopefully it is right around the corner......keep us posted.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Sorry for the stupid question but do you pay in full for the boat when ordered? or do you just give then a deposit till delivery?

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Anyone else, but me, would pay an initial deposit then make progress payments.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Full Throttle 525, has the factory given you a reason for the delay? I saw your boat months ago, it was real close to being finished.

News Flash!!
 

Hey Guys:

I'm smiling now...the factory called me this morning and had my engine running in the background..It sounds great!! Bolsters are in and covers all affixed. Jo said that he's going to sea trial tomorrow.. Yee Haa!! :drink: :drink: :D :D

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I saw it looks SWEEETTTTT, Jo let me know at what time you are hidding out.
I`m taking the boat out tomorrow or Sunday with the new XR drive.

Bolster seats

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Transom takes swim platform

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

EXCELLENT!
great news Ron!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Looks great Jo!! Do you put the swim platform on after the engine is in? I might put one on my new 28, but was going to do it prior to the engine going in.



Full Throttle 525 -

I'm sure the boat will be worth the wait, probably one of the best to be created!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Well, that is good news. Looks nice

Wat the hell lets go for the record Is there a record ??

Re: News Flash!!
 

Perhaps my eyes deceive me but the pictures of your bolster look strangely like it is sitting on a floor of a building, not the floor of a boat....

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

JROMY:

FYI the factory called me later that morning and told me that the seats were in and they were snapping the cockpit cover and the bow cover into place. What you are looking at is what the seats looked like before their installation.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

WildThing:

The boat was not sea trialed as of this past Saturday. JO spoke with me Saturday and told me that they were going to run it this week and try a few different props. I'm hoping delivery is right after that...it's going to be a hot one this weekend!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

I hope this is comeing to a end Its wearing on Ron I have talked to him 3 times last week. Hes not himself Buying a new toy isnt suposed to be this way.I dont care about the boat or have a Dog in this fight but I have made friends with Ron I hope It gets better soon . Brian

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hang in there Ron... its getting to close to start buggin out now.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Gentlemen,

Ron gave me a shout this morning & he seemed to be in good spirits. My understanding is that "Splash Down" is to take place today complete w/ a sea trial. ron can't be there himself but I'm hoping the next post is from him or jo w/ all the details!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

That boat looks beautiful! Let's hope the sun comes out tomorrow!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

The boat looks great. It will be worth the wait!! Again, probably the nicest Pantera if not boats I've ever seen.

Now what I am suppose to do with my blank hull to compete with that paint job/?????

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Ronnie.....Looks like your almost ready to rock and roll......believe me the rush you'll get when crack open the throttle is one you'll never forget......It's almost better than SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Hey Robby L (38cigarette):

Thanks for the comments...I guess I'll be boating a lot(ha-ha).

I hope there wasn't anything serious with my throttle...I haven't heard from the factory yet if they went out again to test it. Guess I'll have to wait until Monday to find out.

Ron

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

FT 525 - Any word? This weekend is the NY City Poker Run. I may be running my Checkmate down to watch. It would be nice to meet you out on the water and see the boat!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

JROMY:

I heard from the factory today and they were waiting for a part from UPS.

It would be nice if I could join you this weekend, but it all depends on how the boat runs and if it will be ready in time.

I'm sure JO will post the results of the sea trial. Any guesses on speed??

I really like the bigger Pantera letters on the sides and the positioning of the eyes. Linda told me they were going to change it and it really looks GREAT!!

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
 

Mr. J-Romy, I understand what you are doing, about 2 weeks ago I found out from 3 different people that you and Ronnie are best of pals, while you pretended to be a concerned OSO member, IT's OK I will miss your sale, Have a great day, Pepe @ Pantera.
