I have been contemplating about getting a Pantera but have a few questions. I would say that my budget is in the 40k range. The boat would have to be white, reliable and single powered.

It will mainly be used on weekends to go to the local sandbars and party spots. My other criteria is that it has to be a newer style design (1990's and above)

Are my expectations realistic or should I keep saving my nickels and dimes?

This would be my dream boat but its a bit out of my price range:

LP,

It is possible BUT single engine is the problem...very few made.

As for year made mine was an 89 and looked like new when I re did her. Was powered by twin small blocks...VERY well balanced and sweet to ride.

LP, give a shout to Sean, aka Dudesweet!
He has a 94(?) white w/ graffic w/o power on the west coast.
That's the going deal imo.

Your dream boat has twins, go twins. There is a 99 in the classifieds in your price range. It has been for sale for awhile now. I used to have twins and loved it.

Hey Rob, thanks for the plug! It's a 1996. Great boat. Feel free to shoot me an email.
