Premier Performance Marine (PPM) is excited to finally announce a new venture in which it is partnering with Pantera Boats to market, rig, test and sell Pantera Boats. The long time friendship with the Nunez family, both companies' prior business ventures, their combined racing history and PPM's Mercury Racing/Mercruiser dealership have naturally evolved to this venture. We are very excited to be in the mist of bringing the new and long awaited Pantera 41 to fruition.

We have initiated special introductory pricing for the boat show and are ready to offer various term options for any custom built Pantera 41. The Pantera 41 will offer multiple pleasure and race configurations and all potential owners will be welcomed and encouraged to be involved in the custom build process.

PPM will offer configurations beginning from a bare hull/deck platform, ready to rig, and extending to any stage of rigging or full completion. As a Mercury Racing and Mercruiser dealer, PPM will offer aggressively discounted engine packages to ensure you will receive a quality product at a reasonable price.

We welcome you to contact us for pricing and we can set up a factory tour. Here are the latest pictures available of the ongoing build.

for those of you like Jo, that need a lot of head room, check this out.....Jo is actually sitting on a stringer, his feet are in the tank wells, yeah, those are pretty big, enough for over 320 gallons if need be......

Premier Perf

....and for those that say 320 gallons just aren't enough.....there's plenty of room in the bilge for saddle tanks on a staggered configuration.........

Dude! Sweet!

Looking great!
I was worried this project was stalled, but it's obvious there has been a lot going on.
Although I'm not going to make Miami this year, is Pantera and PPM displaying?
I would at least have the opportunity to look forward to the pics!!

Keep posting - love seeing it!

Thanks, we are all very excited.

Rick, Steve, Joe, Andy, come on down and take a lookey for yourselves...it is amazing. The pictures I posted are of a work in progress, all the bulkheads and bilge pictures are only show the progress, there is still lots of lamination and further structural components to be placed. You all know how Pantera makes their boats.....ready to take on any rough stuff that may come along..... I will update the pictures as the work progresses.

Steve, we will make ourselves available for anyone who wants to come by and take a look......to show them your work as well.......

Im glad to see another quality boat over 40' that has more than 6' of headroom in the galley area. I never met Joe... but damn... there is a ton of room down there.. Keep the pics going...very interesting build, anxious to see the final product.

JO's not a very tall guy, but there still looks to be an enormous amount of headroom in that cabin.

Even though it doesn't have the appearence (that's what makes it so sleek looking) the head room is amazing. I'm 6'3 and i stand perfect

Here is the latest vesrion we are working on now for the new Pantera 41' model.

The " 6 Pack " model will include : Custom 6 man bolster, padded dash, padded race engine hatches, custom 1/2 cabin, and custom deck hardware.

Staggered engine configuration with " unlimited " power options. This set up would be ideal for Poker Runs.
