New Pantera 41' "P1 Edition". I will post a video and better pictures in the next couple of days.

This new Pantera 41' will be raced in Europe in P1 Super Sport class. Power is staggered twin Mercury Racing 525 EFI with # 6 drives. Should be testing over the weekend.

This is the largest Pantera Boat we have built in the past 35 years. Pictures do not do it justice.

Thanks guys !

Here are a few pics. of the custom 2 man race bolstrer and race dash. We went with Livorsi "Monster" instruments, custom push button ignition panels, Ray Marine GPS units, Marine Machine race throttle, pop up indicators, Pirelli rubber non skid flooring with padded angled footrests, MOMO "Trek" race steering wheel, Ritchie compass, etc. etc. Kept it clean and simple very old school but modern. Boat does have a custom rear seat with a custom hatch that covers it for race purposes. I will post a better pic. with the removable hatch early next week.

This new Pantera 41' has a complete hand laid race lamination with no cabin. Looking forward to racing with my customer in Europe this Summer against some great competetion. We have built our business around racing these past 35 years and looking forward to put our reputaion on the line. This new Pantera 41' is built to take extreme punishment in rough water.

The new Pantera 41' race boat "P1 Edition" ran awesome today. Better than we expected. Need more prop pitch and diameter and go from a 4 blade to a 5 blade but very fast and handled like it was on rails.

Pictures do not do it justice ! It is a big 41'. Took a 15 minute long video that I will post a link in a few days. Here are a few pics. from today.

Have a new "full pleasure" Pantera 41' that is being completed now with a complete cabin. Post pics. of that one soon.

The new Pantera 41' race boat left for its new home and owner in England this afternoon.

1st race will be next month in Italy. Tested yesterday 1 more time with new Mercury Racing 5 blade props and we picked up alot of speed and performance. The boat is ready to race now.

The "full pleasure" version will be completed soon. I will post pics. as soon as it is completed.

Thanks KG. The pictures do not do the boat justice. The owner of this new Pantera 41' was born in China but lives in England.

cads03 , The class limit in the Supersport class is 90 MPH and this new 41' with twin 525 EFI Mercs. has no problem with that. Remember this new 41' was not built very light due to the amount of weight we have to carry at the end of the race in P1 ( 10,600 pounds). It was built for rough water races and our main focus is acceleration and handling since we have the largest boat in the class.

1st race is next month in Italy.
