What is the expected top speed with the 525's in the raceboat? I know this is a whole new design, probably much lighter, steps etc., but if it were an old resin bucket Apache with 525's, what would it go, like 50??

good luck to you guy's and the new boats! watching youtube of pantera boats race and the power boats running the muddy waters of south louisiana got me hooked at 16 and in my boat by 21..... hope to be in a 41 some day!!!!! but ill take any pantera!
They are truely AMAZING boats. I have had 2 prio to being a dealer and the way they handle the rough is incrediable which is what has led to become part of the their team. Give us a call when you are in town and we'll show you the factory. You have to start some where maybe a 28 :driving:

that would be awsome to see the factory! from what i have seen on video the 28 would put my 25' baja to shame lol....
Call me when you come into town
Supersport class in P1 has a limit of 90 MPH this 2010 race season. It is a power to weight ratio series and with the twin Mercury Racing 525 EFI's this new Pantera 41' will need to weigh in at approximately 10,500 pounds. My Father and I are concentrating on the rough water set up since most races in P1 are known to be very rough. Very important will be acceleration since this will most likely be one of the largest boats in the Supersport class. I am confident this new Pantera 41' will be very fast and really perform in extreme sea conditions !

Its great to see Pantera going to race in SuperSport with their new 41 this year!! There's a lot of new boat racing in that class! Should be a great season!!

How's it coming along?
Depends on the old resin bucket (they all weighed different) Heavy one 63mph light one 68mph:driving:
That is what is so cool about technology look at what a 38' tg straight bottom runs with the same power as a a TS Gun. Hell, a 39' Tg Unlimited with 700's runs 105 or so, what would it take a straight bottom to do that. To me this is the coolest endeavor I have seen in some time.
Personally, If I hit the powerball I will be ordering one with diesels and ASD's and start spending my days chasing Bob the Builder around the caribbean. Keep the pics coming!!!
