Two totally different boats. I looked at both and am very glad I went with the Velocity. Couldn't be happier. You can't go wrong with either boat.

Here's a video that we took from my boat during a poker run last spring. Also a 280.

Im Thining Of Going To A Pantera My Self

Thats a mistake,why dont you get used to the boat before you you do that.

what don't you like about them?...seriously

The Pantera is a very cool boat! The decision is more of what you want out of your boat. If you would prefer a smoother ride over going fast then you can't go wrong with the Panter or the AT. If you want to go as fast as possible with the least HP, then the Velocity is the one. This doesn't mean the V is not good in the rough stuff, you just have to expain to the wife that we are doing 80 because it rides smoother when you get on top of the waves

I did not say that I did not like the Pantera because they are very good boats.In my opinion the Velocity offers more of a all around package than the Panterra and if you know how to run the Velocity it will run in the ruff water and believe me I boat on the Chesapeake and the Bay is like a washing machine.There are some Panterras as well as the ATs on the bay and they both perform and run well infact a friend has an AT so I have some seat time in one.Not bashing at all just Opinion.
