I remember seeing this bad boy at the Houlover sand bar back and the days and loved it.... Pepe also has a picture in his office of Willie Diaz's El Boss with the same hull...

I don't know much but that I remember when it was newer seeing it on the water, maybe Pepe or Jo can help.

Seems like a reasonable price. Can't tell much from the pics though. I am ALMOST in the market again. Trying to hold out till spring is getting hard.

Not that I am aware of.

24, 28, 36(I believe the race version was called 35) and now the 41.

No 38's that I am aware of every being built - Good question for Jo or Pepe... I thought one of them would of spoken up by now.

You must not have been to the Pantera factory. There's a picture of Willie Diaz's El Boss on the wall, same boat.

Sorry about my mistake... I was at the Pantera factory in 2007 the year I picked up my 2005 28 during the Miami Boat Show - Just don't remember seeing that photo, but that day was also a blur to me with all that I had going on and all of the excitement that I was feeling.

I understand, Btw I really like your boat. I remember when it was being built as I used to go by the factory all the time.

Pantera also built another 38 model from the Signature mold like the boat named "Gotta Be Blown" that used to race. Im not sure how many or if there was more than one.

I will tell you this, I have had two Pantera's and they built a bad aszz boat...Strong and built to take a beating....

Saw this 38 yesterday as it's at the 79st marina....it was on a upper rack so couldnt see the inside. The outside looked so so.....it does seem to be worth the money if the engines and power train wrok good. Its a boat worth putting 15k into....one this is for sure it could take a beating, which is what all Pantera are made for.

I seen this & couldn't help but post a crappy cell shot of a an old Hotboat ad that was ran in the early 90's.. Man I used to look at that all white 28 sitting beached up somewhere in Miami & think "One day" That pic could have been the new 41 and it wouldn't have looked any longer or hardcore offshore than it did !!!

 

[LittleDcsRodShop]

Here you go another crappy shot.. I framed this add a month or so ago as I'm in the midst of a slow garage restoration mode..

 

[Wylie-Rat]

Thanks guys for the info - I guess you do learn something new everyday...
