Default Miami Offshore 24

Anyone ever hear of a Miami Offshore 24? I was down in the Keys for a wedding and spotted one in a used boat lot. I thought it was a 24' Pantera, looked exactly like one. This one had a 468 I/O.

Probably a 24 Pantera, or a knockoff.

I think the 24 Excalibur was the first 24x7.

Something like that, or at least the first production one

Per Brownie...
"Harry (Schoell) also did the 23' Magnum which became the basis for a hundred 7' wide hulls and boat companies."
"The 23' Magnum was never built as a production boat. They made one for Bob Magoon. It was speifically designed to to be a twin outboard offshore racer."

I saw the boat in question and is not close to a 24 Pantera. Doesn't even look like the same beam. The boat looks more like a cut down Imperial or squadron.

Not a Pantera, but looks like a 24x7 to me.

The boat looks like a Pantera but it did seem to have a more narrow beam. The engine hatch was like a Squadron.

Looks kinda like a pantera from the rubrail down, except for the one line in the hull. Not sure what it is??
