Ok guys I have been wanting to do this for years and I am commited to having it occur in 2011! I know a lot of members live in different locations thru out the country so I am trying to pick a date that will give all ample time to plan and get all of our Pantera's in order....
May 21-22 would be ideal and still far enough away that we can all plan. As for a location well I can't think of a more proper spot than Biscayne Bay and the Keys for the first gathering besides it's home to the Pantera factory. Let's work on trying to accomplish this first owners' gathering here in Miami for 2011. I am willing to continue this every year and alternate it say between
Miami in 2011
Lake of the Ozarks in 2012
Great Lakes 2013
So how many are truly up to this?

I'm up for it!!
I'm not sure if I can work out having my boat ready, or further more working out a way to haul from AZ and back...
But, I'll certainly be ready for a vaca and look for an open seat.:party:

I am ready, it got wet today, needs some setup time, but I am sure I'll get that ironed out. Had some rated R stuff going on in a Sea ray next to us, but not sure if I can post those pics and video here:D

Thanks Mike. Sounds like a great time if we can make this happen. We can all make the pilgramage to mecca (Pantera).
Maybe we can force JO and PePe to have a little open house for us all.
Need to make sure we invite the boys from Europe - Tomas Wallin and Mange...

Throw it in the uncensored section and we'll be the judge of whether it should stay or go.
Congrats Rick on getting her back on the water.

Tim I've spoken to Pepe and I am sure tours will be available to all who come!

It would be great if some of our friends on the other side of the pond would come over!

It's a haul ..... I'm losing my Expedition for a new Explorer this winter and therefore will be short of a decent tow vehicle for a Florida trip. I was thinking of going down on biz and laying over ....

Great idea. Much over due. I would love to bring her back to the motherland but, I don't think that I could make it to Miami. Yes to Great lakes 2013.

Let's start a poll. For the first year to make it a large event (most amount of boats), where should it be located? My thoughts are to make it a great turnout for the first year (to make more people want to go the following year and so on), location is key. Please give thoughts.

I would like to see as many Boats as possible in miami, but anyone who owns a Pantera, but for one reason or another cannot tow it to south Fl, we will find you a seat. If not enough Pantera's can make it, maybe we can make it a joint event with another brand, there are a LOT of Classic Donzi's around, and a 24 Pantera and 22 classic Donzi are not that far apart(cousins??)

I think you and I are on the same page. I would love for it to be in Miami...hell I'm ready to go. It's been a dream of mine to boat there. Go to Gilbert's in Largo, I'll follow you guys there...show me the route! I've only seen it from the shore. BUT...I want to go where the boats are going to go. So my question is...where can we all meet (with regards to getting a sh!tload of PANTERAS)?

That is about as close as you want to get to Gilberts, just kidding, but it is not exactly the resort they make it out to be, i'll be going by in the morning, launching at another craphole right down the street, Caribean Club:26:

I have been trying to get to Key West for the races for the last 3 years. Just not in the cards this year. I do appreciate the offer, I might have to take you up on that! Hopefully we all can meet next year where ever this event goes. I would like to come down that way regardless next year. Miami and the Keys are beautiful!

Don't get me wrong it is not a dump by keys standards, but it IS an older place.

Gilberts hotel is fine if all you plan to do is pass out at night and leave in the morning,
women may take a dimmer view of it however,LOL..
Bar and docl are the best things about it, however trying to dock when its
busy and the tide is going in or out is a challenge.
Caribbean Club being completely on the gulf shore is much easier all around
however doesnt have the same "feel" to it for a boater. Its more car/motorcycle kind of place.
My uncle and cousin both live on the gulf side of Key Largo within spitting distance of Gilberts. Nothing like a couple rum runners at 10am at Gilberts as you head out to Elliot.

Hey guys...sorry just been a little busy.
I am working on making this happen, looking at making a 3 day event whereby Friday we would have a meet & greet drinks, food etc. and then Saturday we would hit the water and make a run down into the keys spend the night and then shoot back up Sunday.
As soon as I have more details I will post.

Thanks
