I have seen that boat advertised before a year or two ago.I think someone told me it was not a Pantera also.

I have also heard that it is NOT a Pantera.

Wow, thanks for the great info! Look at the throttle and shifter also. Looks like the same cheesy sticks used on a Seadoo jet boat. This guy has only two feedbacks and one of those is bad. You think he's trying to pull one over on some unlucky buyer?

Jo, your the final word....Is this a "real" Pantera?

Thanks for the help! Eric

I would have to say No.It looks like a P and D that had a Pantera 24' SE windshield mounted on the deck made out of White plexiglass.The dash is certainly different and the cabin entry in the cockpit liner is also different.The corner of the liner in front of the passenger side bolster curves around while our 24' model does not. If the serial number from that time frame starts with a WCW it is a Pantera.Tell him to read you the serial #.

Jo,

What does the WCW mean?

Sounds like this guy had a Pantera at one point, trashed it and slapped the serial numbers to this resin bucket.

Thanks for the help guys!

Think I'll pass on this one. I don't even need to ask for the Hull #. Too sketchy for me!

Hey guys that is definetly not a Pantera, it's a "Cobra" made here locally in the 70's.
I've seen this boat, in up close pics about a year ago.

The HIN turns out to be XBN24003977. I think the current owner is unaware that this does not match a Pantera HIN, as he did not seem like one trying to hide anything. XBN turns out to be ABBATE NAUTICA USA INC, Ft. Laud, per USCG info.
