DOMZ,

Your Boat Looks SWEET!!!!!!, Sonny, you and me will have to get together for a run in Lake George. But only if you guys will go slow, so my 24 can run with you. Jeff Harran

Well we put Domz boat in the water this afternoon and after running it in the hose this morning for a while and in and out of gear with no problem we put the boat in at Haulover Marina to go for a blast. The Starboard side Bravo 1 went into forward and decided on not going into neutral or reverse at idle.

We brought the boat back and tried as to get it to go into neutral and reverse with no luck. We brought in a Mercruiser certified mechanic tonight Saturday at 10:00 PM and we decided to take the drive apart and look for the problem.

It turns out the drive has the forward clutch jammed and will not come on done. We will have to run it through Mercruiser warranty on Monday morning and should have it fixed in an hour or two.

Domz we have all tried our hardest today to get your boat on the road with My Sister. As a matter of fact my Sister drove down 4 1/2 hours from Ocala , Fl. to pick it up. It is 11:00 PM on a Saturday and we are all still here working on your 28.

I will call you shortly.

Maybe if they had put in half that effort a year or so ago you'd already have your boat.

Hell if they had put half that effort in this year I might have a boat that ran!

Looks like Chuck won 2 weeks in a row!

I like the eyes on the carpet and the boat looks really nice.

I know how things happen, my marine machine plate wouldn't fit the new drive and I had to wait a few days. Crap happens they say, but it's not long now.

Nice ride, I like the billet gunnel steps too, had those on my Daytona

Hey Domz,

I just left you a message on your cell phone.

Mercruiser overnighted another Brand new Bravo 1 drive Via Burlington air freight and will be ready to pick up by us at 8:00 AM. I will have my Sister on the road in the Morning with your Pantera up to you.


The Mercruiser dealer says that the upper gears failed. Mercruiser told us that they prefer sending us another new drive instead of having that one fixed.

Regards,

Jo - Pantera Boats

Can I have the old one?
