Spy Pic New 41' Offshore!!!!!

[stormrider]

Here are a few more of the # 6 Mercury Racing drives with NXT1 transom plates. Stelling extension boxes are also included with Arneson Rocker Plate tabs and a Zieger heavy duty polished tie bar. Boat is full staggered.

We have a custom polished stainless steel 6" round Pantera 41' logo being waterjet cut tomorrow that will be placed on the deck above the transom. The split engine hatches still have a few more details that need to be completed. Stainless Marine is working on the custom exhaust system for the Mercury Racing 525 EFI's that should be completed soon.

The red hatch with the custom black rail is being placed behind the bolster covering up the custom rear seat. It is removable in case the back seat wants to be used to take sponsors for a quick blast.We wanted to keep the same look as the forward part of the deck.

We should be testing in the next couple of days. This new Pantera 41' race boat "P1 Edition" should really perform in extreme rough water conditions. Can not wait to try it out in the gulfstream in some big water.

That's why, DD.

HA! I just remember it had a backseat, cause that's how i'd want mine.
Kind of like Lucky Strike's 31sutphen Great Adventure... or the 3A 900hp 28pantera.

[Flat Rate]

where is the video?

[JO - PANTERABOAT]

Hired someone to take a nice video and was not pleased how the original version came out so he is trying to make it better now. I am sure once the boat races in a couple of weeks there will be video taken at the race site which I will post a link for everyone to see.

Here are a few more pics. I had saved on my computer.

The new 41' is on transit to England. Looks like its 1st race will be on July 9-11 in Sardinia, Italy.

Here is a link to a video we took the 1st time the new Pantera 41' hit the water.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ke16Nr95NM

My plans were to make the video atleast 10 minutes long with some ocean footage but we only had 1 set of 4 blade 32 pitch props off of the original "Warpath" Apache 41' owned by my friend JC. The props had to much slip and were too small and all over the rev limiters with over 25 % throttle left so we did not bother to test anymore until the following day. Atleast these 4 blade props gave us a good baseline. I could not get the gentelman that took this video to come out again on such a short notice. The boat ran and accelerated much faster with 5 blade props that the Mercury racing Factory Rep. ( Brad Halpen ) brought along the following day ( 17 1/4 by 35 ) all over the rev limiters. We will add to this video with the some race footage in the coming weeks.

The boat will only be getting faster. Some more testing with Mercury racing and Hering props next week.

Boat will make its racing debut next weekend in Sardinia, Italy.

she looks great. Can't wait to see it running out!
