hi,ive got a good friend here in the uk looking for a 28 pantera with a single v8 500hp ish,whats the general opion on them or does anyone know of one for sale,thanks scott

Great Boat For It's Size And Very Tuff.
Give Morgan A Call He Has A 2007 28 That I Think He Is Willing To Sell "" 845-494-4716 """

These shots were taken a few weeks ago on Lake Erie. Boat has just over 100 hours, shows as new and runs perfect. Call or email if you are interested.

Whats your friends budget? I have a 2003 Hull fully rigged less power, transom assembly and drive.

Depending on the numbers, I could rig it with a 500 EFI it would be about $ 70,000.00 when it was done. Not sure exactly, just rough figure for now.

If he has a bigger budget, Morgans boat is ready now and sweet!

Todd Blythe has his boat for sale, 2002 Pantera w/500 Hp with trailer, appoximately 130 hours. I think he's asking $60,000. Todd's phone number is 215 651-4787

thanks i will forward the info,what speed should he exspect from a 28 with 500hp,cheers scott

From what I have seen, low 60's. They are not the fastest boats...until the water gets rough. Then they come into their own. Pantera does have a new step bottom 28 coming out, which will probably be quite a bit faster. Pantera's will take more of a beating than you will. They are very solid, and what other boat company gives the original owner a lifetime hull warrantee, even if you race it!!??? The owners of the company give very friendly, personalized service to ALL Pantera owners, or would be owners. Hard to beat.

I second the personalized service statement. I am very happy with Panteras willingness to help and answer questions that arise concerning the boat. It's a rare but good feeling to have after a purchase .

You should see consistent upper 60's and maybe low 70's with newer pleasure 28's with a 500hp. My 28 was a 1996 and I think a little heavier with a 525sc and would run 67mph. It was a wave crushing and level flying machine.

I third that and I don't even own a Pantera!
I have seriously looked at 2 used Panteras and Joe was there to help without me even asking. Doesn't matter New or used... Joe is there for you. You can't beat that anywhere. extremely rare indeed.
