Official Show Pics of your Pantera Thread

was in 1000 Islands at Aqua-Mania a few years ago. I really had alot of interest in it and very interested in purchasing ... but bad timing with the divorce :ack2:

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Merola's owned that boat forever. As I understand it, it's this boat. Which is how it looked when I worked at Hutinson's across the bay from Aquamania in 1988.

I've always been very fond of the boat as well and it's the reason I own a Pantera (or two) now.

Welcome aboard BHJ !!!

I have always loved that shot storm posted from the Pantera website.. I actually tracked your number down like an FBI spider monkey a few years ago so if you are wondering who the random call & msg. was from asking if the boat was forsale I will fess up, It was me...

That's funny.....I don't remember that call. Have to ask the wife....she may have screened it from me!

Stormrider, I've always gotten a kick out of the twin vs. single debate. I'd love to drive a single 28 for comparison. We love the ride of our twin big blocks, and think she scoots across the water pretty good :driving:

 

[bigboat28]

BHJ where do you boat at?

 

[BHJ]

bigboat28,

We are on the Upper Mississippi River.

 

[Switzer It]

anyone know where Merola's 28 is now? I though Rick told me it went to Mass.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

That's what I thought I heard, but I may have heard it from you.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

You know if I think of it I'll have my dad ask Dr. Merola next time he sees him.

That Killer Bee boat looks awesome!

Pantera

The killer bee was an awesome ride it was being built at Pantera when I had my 28 Pantera redone by Pepe.
I heard that unfortunately it eventually sunk at a dock....rumor or fact not a 100% sure. But it was sweet, I agree Daredevil about the name.

Here is a pic of the "Bee" and my baby next to it while in progress and then after it was completed after the redo. Damn I miss her.

One more Killer Bee.

I'd heard the same story. I remember seeing Bee at auction a year or two ago. But also heard it was bought and re-rigged and is running again. Don't know if that's accurate, but that's what I heard.

Your 28 is on of my very favorites (colors and how it was rigged).

Thanks Sean, with the small blocks it was a VERY well balanced ride to say the least.
