I know it's probably not Pepe running the boat (and I know Pepe generally drives), but tell me this video isn't identical to the famous Apache video...

Only in 1/2 scale and going the other direction. Awesome stuff!
Magic throttle arm of Scott Gary maybe?

04-24-2009 01:47 PMThat boat sounds great! Defintiely not as rough as the Apache video though. I would have liked to see this Pantera getting more air!

04-24-2009 05:33 PMThat video was taken in 1992 at the Holiday Isle race in the Florida Keys. The Plum Loco 24' dominated in A-Class that day and in B-Class the Pantera 28' Tunnel Vision took 1st with another 28' twin taking 3rd in the same class.
It was a great day of racing for Pantera.It was 17 years ago but I still remember the day quite well.

04-27-2009 12:49 PMRatickle, My Father was driving in F1-71 and I was on throttles. That video was taken in Daytona 2001.It was the 1st time the boat had touched the water.
Andy, Plum Loco is still a 3 man bolster boat.Scott - owner placed some type of a back seat in it at one time.
