SOOOOOO, call me puzzy if ya want

[rchevelle71]

I normally dont run the 24 on the ocean, since its 28 years old, and COULD use a transom, we normally just run the ditch, and tie up for beers and lunch, although I have had it in Biscayne bay, and out around the keys in the relatively flat waters a few times. My wife normally is a scaredy cat(I have had her screaming at me in the ICW before:sifone, but today she wanted to do something different other than watching me drink, so she egged me on to head thru Boca inlet into the Atlantic. WELL, it was absolutely BEUTIFUL, 1-2, ran the Pantera at about 3/4 throttle with some jumps up to WOT, had a blast, but got a little wet on the way back in. Saw a Skater out there, and we ran north a bit, I know I have seen the boat before, but am terrible with names. Sorry, I forgot to bring the camers, since its normally just the same old pics of Lake Boca or Peanut Island.

damn, I was all set to call you a puzzy but after reading that I can't! sounded like a fun time, that pantera is probably faster without that chunky photographer in it:leaving:

best place to run a Pantera, done that a couple of times on a couple of 24's and a couple 28's including Balck Sunday in which I wish I can find in ok condition to restore and use it all the time...

A 24' Pantera is one of the best Offshore boats ever, If you give your wife a good offshore ride Jumping waves, some good short hops, and just make it fun witout scaring the sh*t out of her she'll probably want to go out there every time, it's truely some great fun (for the whole family) Just DON'T DRINK until you get back:sifone:

I agree, and once the transom is replaced it will be running hard in the ruff. I have had the pleasure of riding with ScottyB in his race 24 and know the ride very well. Jen doesnt like it too rough on the water, but today was just perfect, could have run all day in that stuff:sifone: AND yes, the beers come into play once we are at anchor:drool5:

And that is exactly why I wanted one so bad.
And I don't foresee ever letting her go, but may pick up an addition to the stable down the line.

Besides, between my wife(not that she is anywhere near his size), but her and all her JUNK she needs to bring along probably add up to his weight, Difference is I can move her junk around like ballast:sifone::driving:

Found out it was Paul(TZrider) in the cat, he was breaking in a powerhead and couldnt go full speed, I should have hung out and kept running with him but didnt want to get dusted or have him run slow to hang with me. He still has some break in time left to go on his motor, so if its relatively flat next weekend I'll be back out with the camera. You have seen my boat up close, and ridden on it, so you understand why I dont run too hard, but working on getting a newer motor now, and will do the transom over the winter:driving:
