I finally found the right one!
She's been taken back to her birthplace for a
freshening up!
I am quite the proud Papa.

Here is Pepe giving an initial look over.

From another angle.

A shot of the bow.

And a bit of the business end.

I would like to thank Pepe, Jo, Linda and especially Barbara for all their help they have given me in aquiring this boat. I am extremely happy to be an owner of a Pantera. Right now I would not have it any other way.
I would also like to thank a few OSO members for their expertise and opinions, from which I have learned greatly from (and still am). You know who you are.

All I can say is, great days to come!

Stormrider,
As the "seniors" (Pantera owners that is) have said to me: "welcome to the Pantera family"!
The business end looks very similar to my new addition. Looks good. What year and can you give us the specs?

what engine does that bad boy have?

It has a 454 Magnum 365hp.
Full hydraulic Marine Machine steering.
Drive shower. K planes. Ya know... the usual stuff.

I can't exactly remember the prop, but she ran strong...
on the speedo 70mph at 4950rpm with the drive tucked in and tabs up. This is my 1st HP boat. I can see I've got some learning to do. It sure is different from the 40ft twin diesel express sport-fisherman I'm used to driving.

The boat is in really nice shape and just needs a little TLC. She'll be up on the LI sound this summer.

Georges, I talked to David about your boat.
I remember loving it before Albert put it up for sale.
Does it have a back bench? I remember it just
being a 2 man bolster setup.

familiar paint scheme? I like it!!!
