Cool 88 Pantera 3xOB race boat on ebay

Man I dig those 3 man tripple OB boats! I still wanna get my paws on Merola's old Boats Unlimited Special (a pile from what I hear, but my first Pantera experience). What can I say, I guess I've got Pepe envy!! :D
 
This is my old boat...It was originally LittleFish.....I bought it less powerheads...Went through a couple of stages of rehab with it....rigged it one time with a pair of ProMax300's....Ran ok...Originally had Trip 2.4"s.....I sold it mid project to a guy who resold it on Ebay to the current owner who did the current resto....Not sure of the quality of the work, but it looks nice in the pics...boat had a partial cabin done at the factory, and was only raced a few times if that by the original owner in Florida....Rumor has it the boat was a former HayHauler! Not sure though....Hull has very few hours....Spent most of its life on a trailer....I think it had a total of 5 owners.....

Welcome to Serious.

Did you replace it when you sold it?
 
I did....I bought a trip/33 Powerplay and have since sold that...Currenty riding a Jupiter CenterConsole, but i have the itch for another Pantera....I think I will go with a single BB version this time...
 
Jake, cool history on this boat! Welcome to SO and look forward to hearing more from you going forward. There's a bunch of boats out there for sale. Brian Stubbefield (B-Stubb on the other site) has a 1996 28 with a single big block that's supposed to run in the 90s. I know he's virtually giving that boat away.
 
If I remember correctly B-Stubbs boat came from Virginia....It was a super clean piece way back when....I'm kinda looking for a stock setup.....Goodluck to BSTUBB....should be an easy sale....
 
Saw this boat 2 weekends ago in lauderdale sitting outside with a tarp over the top of it. Doesn't appear that she is being loved very well right now. :(

Really cool looking boat.:drool5:
 
Jeff, i'm pretty sure the boat in the ebay link is still in NY.
Can't imagine why'd they'd drag it down to FL now?

If i can escape to Freeport over the next week, i'll try to get some more updated pics.
 
I think there are a few 3man 3xOBs running around.
But not w/ these graphics.
Maybe i'll take that drive sooner than later, if the weather is good.
Any requests for better pics of this? if its still local?
