looks more like an 84 not a 94. Ide check with OPA first. The rules may have changed, but I dont think twin motors are allowed in P-5. I dont see why an exception couldnt be made because its a 24.
I would rather see you find a 24 with a single IO. blow a powerhead and the boat aint so cheap anymore. There are a few out there in that price range.

Not sure if reliable would be the correct adjective for older 2.5's. I would also rather sit down in something with that little free-board for racing.
Im sure the price is negotiable so it could be worth a shot though....if the price was right. Pantera did make good rough water boats, for its size.
I thought OPA was speed bracketed? Is there a restriction on number of motors also?

No twins in P-5... IO or OB
I know twin OBs on a 27 Excalibur, were not allowed last year. By the looks of the instument panel, I'de still say 1984. also the serial numbers looks like an 84. if its an 84, i think they are asking too much.
