Just noticed the blue 36 for sale in the classifieds got a paint job. Looks much better now. Amazing what a little color will do.

I was hoping that was vinyl..............I hate the scallop/spear/flame look. I don't like a majority of OL's because they got stuck in that design look for 2-3 years. Hopefully with TAOD painting their new boats (OL) they will look more appealing.
I liked the Pantera in solid blue. Is the price still in the 150's or now more due to custom paint?

I looked at the boat before with just the blue gel. I'm going to try and get up there today or tomorrow and see it in person. If it is just paint on the blue gel it might look odd. If they painted the entire boat I know it will look better.

Like picking a radio station- you'll never make everyone happy. Personally, I like them and think it made a huge difference. I could be wrong, but i think the new scheme will appeal to a lot more people (potential buyers) than the somewhat classic but boring (opinion) blue gel.
I'm pretty sure the add said it was clearcoated which appeared in the pics to give the blue more lustre.

When it was all blue I loved it. Actually my favorite Pantera to date, and although the new scheme looks good I think the all blue was much better looking. I would love to own it either way, one kick ass boat.

Went by and took a quick look at it. The entire boat has been painted. The blue gelcoat before had somewhat of a dull finish. Looks great.

I also agree you cannot make everyone happy. But, IMO that boat looked WAAAAAY better all blue. I love the "classic" look and the new paint looks like a total afterthought.
