Right,The Pantera 41 ran 89.7 MPH with a pair of 525 Mercurys.

That's a lot of speed for that size powerboat with that small amount of power! 6's?

Do you know why the hull failed? Did the stringers fail? Was it laid up too light?

That's a shame. Hopefully they give the next one a stronger lamination schedule.

Glad they got it running again. Those steps are quite a bit larger as well.
