Here are a few pictures of the recessed hull sides.We custom fabricated stainless steel plates precision cut with water jets and polished them out. Then we installed custom LED lights in "green". These pictures do not do it justice since the factory lights were on but I can assure there will be no other performance boat out in the water ways that will look this unique at night. The LED lights reflect off of the custom paint work.

We should be testing sometime next week . Should be real fast plus look incredible !!

I am excited on how it is all coming together.

Post quality pictures and a video as soon as we run it.

Regards,

JO

JO - that looks incredible.
Just like the paint job, you are stealing a similar idea I had YEARS ago.
I wanted to do something similar with flourescents, but they never would have held up. Technology wasn't there. LED's are badazz!
Looks great.
Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
Looking forward to the next installment:sifone:

Looking forward to it.

What's the baseline:
how deep is the drive,
what props are you trying etc.
Got a number you're shooting for?
What does a nonstepped 28 run with a 525?

I'm guessing Jo gets 80-81 out of it with a labbed 30 Bravo.

Non-stepped 28 runs about 71 acording to a couple guys I know with them.

Says a lot for safety while boating at night. Never understood why boats were not marked with lighting on the sides....makes it a lot easier to see at night.

Griff

I don't believe it would be leagl to run with those lights on at night, especially if both sides are green.

Are both sides green or does the port side have red leds? If it does that would be pretty slick, if not then you could probably put both red and green on the port side with two switches, red while running, green while chilling. Or for that matter you could do that on both sides and switch things up if you want!

For safety reasons, Pantera's new side LED lights are not designed to work while the boat is underway with the navigation lights on.....they can be turned on while the boat is at the dock or stationary, but not while the nav lights are on..........and, ......I saw the boat last night with the cabin LEDs and the side LEDs on, and it is KILLER!!!!!!Nothing else like it out there........stay tuned, it is going to be unveiled very, very soon:drool5::drool5::drool5:

The new Pantera 28 SR handled perfect and much faster with new T.S. bottom. Need to test a few more 4 and 5 blade props to maximize RPM, slip, and calm and rough water performance.

I will post good pictures and performance #s real soon.Boat looks amazing in the water !!!:sifone:

Probably not if it's being transported to Ducky's in PA. If it hasn't sold by spring time, it should be on display at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Boat Show.

I agree with you though. It should be at the Miami show.

Mahopac,

Will probably be displaying with Ducky's Boats a new Pantera 36' powered by staggered 525 EFI's for the Miami show with custom paint work.

This new 2009 Pantera 28 SR was built for Ducky's Boats and should be sold real soon. We have a few more in production here at the factory.We are located 10 minutes West of the Miami airport and 20 minutes from the boat show.

Stop by in February and I will take the time to show you around here at the factory.

Here are a few pictures of the new 28 SR.

Jo,
I will definitely do that. I will be down for quite some time around the boat show as well as January around the 10-12th I believe.
I have been speaking with a couple of mutual friends of ours and I think we should meet to say hi as well.

Thanks

Joe, how bright are the leds at night? Would a dimmer switch be an option?

looks cool, what were the speeds never saw them posted? or how much coin:sifone: for a badboy like that there is lot of nice detail on her. but the speed # would be real nice to see:sifone:

JO - PANTERABOAT

Our dealer in the PA. is getting ready to test a new P5 X labbed Hydromotive which should put the speed right around 80 - 81 MPH on GPS. I posted the speedo pic. on the other site which showed 78.5 on the GPS but that was at only 5000 - 5100 rpm with a 4 blade Hydro.It handled perfect with our new twin step bottom design and we picked up over 12 % more speed.

The boat liked the 5 blade better with the agressive drive height but we never got the RPM right on the money with the props we had here to test. With Winter up North the boat has been put away until now so no more testing was done with the new prop.

It is a BIG 28' footer without the platform in the length.The hull sides are 2 1/2 inches lower due to the new T.S. bottom.

It is an incrdible boat !!! Pictures do not do it justice.

Duckys Boats # is 717-944-4232.
