Re: P & D
Yeap they "look" like a Pantera but ...they do NOT ride like one.
For an entry level boat it's not bad if your getting a good deal.
The 280 Volvo is an old but extremely trustworthy drive as long as it's been maintained and it's not overpowered. I had one on my old 1985 24' pantera and it never let me down.
The P&D hull has a tendency to list to one side. Also look to make certain that the transom and stringers are solid. Again it does not have the build quality of a Pantera but it can be a good entry level boat if you gettin a good price and it's in good condition structurally. Good Luck
