95.3 MPH On GPS First Sea Trial !!! 35 Survivor

JO - PANTERABOATS · Mar 30, 2002

Hey guys,

Thanks for welcoming me on the board.I just got back from running our new 35 Survivor Pantera on its first run.All I can say that it Survived.I got on a GPS in the bay in flat water with 88 degree weather with 34 Pitch Bravo 1 props at 5300 rpm 95.3 MPH.I built this boat for Mike and Art Girard which ran the Sloppy Joes and Airborne superboats.This was our non step version with a 24 degree deep v and twin 588 CI big blocks with 700 FT.lbs. of torque and 650 HP.We will also be offering the boat in a twin step version.This boat has a custom made 6 man bolster with a custom hatch and sunpad.I will post pictures next week on the board and on my website WWW. Panteraboats.com Regards, JO

It did just what you said it would do. NICE JOB! Can't wait to see the pics. That's got to be a great feeling having the first 35 run out like that.

WAY TO GO JO AND FAMILY!

Jo, I will set up a special place in the Gallery under Manufacturers Row just for you to post the photos. Post a teaser pic here on the main forum and after you post the photo's in the gallery, I'll set up a link to new gallery shots. I'll also put a Headline here on the forum about your new "Survivor".

However it sounds like this boat is an "Annihilator" not just a "Survivor"
