Anybody know anything about the 28' in Texas that was for sale on OSO this past spring? I have talked to Daryl, the owner but just wanted some unbiased input. I need another project to keep me out of trouble for a while.Here is a pic of the boat.

11-13-2009 09:43 AMI am fine with a project. I am tired of working on a boat that isn't what I want anyway, so it's gone. I was considering twin sbc, but most likely I would go single since I already have the motor for it. I figure I fit in better with you crazy Pantera guys that are always tearing chit apart just because so I might as well make the move.

11-13-2009 01:34 PMYour letting me down! I thought you were the Pantera history guru. Apparently no-one knows much about the boat. Or at least won't discuss the history. I guess it had a job to do early in life. Originally Posted by Dude! Sweet!

11-17-2009 07:17 PMI believe that's the boat. It has a re-issued HIN from TX that says it's 81'. I guess it was a DEA seizure. Originally Posted by JO - PANTERABOAT

11-28-2009 09:20 AMWell, I drove down to take a look at this one and iy was a huge waste of time. The boat is rotten and water logged. There is a foot of water standing under the floor from the front of the cuddy all the way to the back of the cockpit, an honestly, I wouldn't tow the trailer down the street. I guess I am still looking

11-30-2009 02:37 PMWow, that sucks. Doesn't matter how well they're built if they're not taken care of! Originally Posted by Trim'd Up

11-30-2009 06:40 PMIt was about 10 plus hours from my house. Not taken care of is putting it mildly. This boat needs to go to the shredder and I am all for resurrecting old boats. The supposedly good drives and tabs were junk as well and the transom has been hacked and rerigged so many times I am suprised the drives haven't fell of in his driveway. Oh well, I did find a nice clean old 27 excalibur I might pick up.

11-30-2009 06:58 PMDid you get any pics? I guess you never got that 27 Activator in DE last year. Is the Excalibur the one in MD?
