Looking great I actually saw you running south one day and it looked awesome on plane. I waved as I was towing wakeboarders with my whaler

24 SE from the original owners photo. DJ Mikey's now
I am reasonably sure this is the same boat that you have now. Was the name on it when you bought it?

Wow! Where did you come up with that? Yea I believe that is it! Previous owner who I believe is the second owner had the boat repainted and did not put the name back on it, the blue it is now is lighter in color than original, I know this because the dash is still the original fiberglass blue color which is darker the the hull sides. I have the swim steps from the back of the boat he never put back on after painting as he stated he wanted to get a aluminum full width swim platform on the back... and I still have that cover for it!

Ok when I was getting my 28 ready for the water spring of 13 this guy who was painting the new construction house next door saw it as I was bringing it out of the garage comes over and says nice Pantera, my dad had a 24 that looked very similar. So we talked boats for a while and I asked if he had any old photos because I knew that probably his dad's boat and mine were probably coming out of the factory at the same time by his description of it. The next day he stops over and has 2 photos of your boat from back in the day, I ask to take some digitalis of them with my phone as it is the same year and color as my boat. Based on the color scheme and power package I was sure it is your boat. Do you have that target trailer also? He is back painting another house across the street now so I plan on showing him the recent picture you posted of it on Lake George. If you want I will try to get contact info so you can contact him if you are interested in that. I am not sure but I think he was the original owner. Another small world story
