this would be great performance boat with good economy the only problem 45 k to convert

Yes it does look like a paint line down the side there..
Does say 502 petrol's in the ad though ..could be wrong.
I like the boat other than the purple

I think Rockey is suggesting a conversion to Yanmar diesels would be nice for use here in the UK, but rather costly, not that it already has diesels fitted.

Yeah, but don't forget the noise, smell & smoke (I know them well)

[pantera1]

Im still hooked on the sound of two screaming two strokes

[Jon Fuller]

What Pantera do you have?

There's a 28 over here that originally had triple 2.4 efi's, but was converted to single big block.

[pantera1]

Had a 24 IO 496 trs (summer breeze) sold .Had another 93 with twin 260 outboards sold presently own a 24 carrera with twin 2.4 efi outboards , dont know that 28.. theres a few for sale in oso classifieds.. Panteras = well built

It came over here early 80's I think, there was a thread on OSO, or offshorepowerboat.com, where Jo (Pepe's son) recalled the boat from it's time in the US before it came here, in fact, thinking about it, It went to Europe somewhere first, then here.

[pantera1]

Is this a project boat, I know of one like that boat it needs everything on a trailer stored in a barn for 5000

[pantera1]

Im a zipperhead sometimes ..I was just talking with someone about another boat, girlfriend chatting could have been the booze.
Yes Jo and Pepe know most of there boats with any history, good guys.

[Jon Fuller]

Interestingly, the one here was/is black.

The story goes I think, that it held some or other record in the states, Miami to Key-West I think. (a long time ago)

Sadly, Offshorepowerboat.com has gone to the great forum in the sky, so it's not possible to search for the thread in question. thre was quite a bit of info on this 28 in the thread.

Could it be this one

[Jon Fuller]

Yes, it could, I seem to remember it having the screen in-fill like that one in the early pics of it here.

Tony Davis on this forum will know better, I'll give him a buzz.

Yeh, that's the one, it was in my workshop last year having the deck repaired!

[pantera1]

Im pretty sure there were a few triple outboard panteras in that era.. That one has some Heritage however. Pepe Nunez could tell ya
