I think this statement is what ruffled some feathers. These two are not even close to the same hull.
Now that doesn't mean you have a "bad" boat. If your boat does what you want it to then it's a good boat. Like I said this is the Pantera forum so tread lightly and you will make friends. 99% of the people in this forum believe the Pantera 24 is the best rough water 24/7 out there.
Saying you have a similar boat and you love it would have been better.

First off I didn't come into this thread saying my python could out perform any other boat. I only said, "I just bought a 24' Python which is the same hull as the pantera and its awesome. Its my first boat its great in rough water and hits 75mph with the 454. Lots of fun so far." Doesn't seem like I am implying my boat is better or worse than any other boats, just that I like mine and I am happy with it. Honestly you can come at me saying I put down your almighty pantera but I only defened myself when another member decided they felt it neccessary to point out that my boat is as good as a pantera.
I don't think a pantera would be any better for me either. I am just figuring out boating and clearly don't have the experience to notice what I would assume is just a more solid hull that the pantera provides would do for me. I didn't buy my boat for racing so weather or not it was built for that doesn't do anything for me because I won't be racing it.
Since you guys feel that the pantera is such a superior boat capable of things my Python couldn't do would someone educate me and point out a few things I would be able to accomplish in a 24' pantera that I couldn't do with my 24' python?

A Pantera has heritage, a pedigree if you will, that comes with it.
It has a History that goes back to Thunderboat row. (That's 188th St. in the late 70's early 80's
) Idle up to the docks with all the big guys in a Gun, or an Apache, or...whatever else is hanging out that day. In a Pantera, you'll get some respect.
Idle up in a Python, just not quite the same.
Not that any of this makes your Python a bad boat by any means

In the 24 & 28ft range, the pantera is the classic.
Kinda like the 35 & 38ft cig, and a 41ft apache.
It's the heritage that Pepe and Jo have earned.
Those in the know give respect to the green eyes on the boat.
I like'em old school.
And a 38 Scarab from 1989, just don't pull the clout a 1989 TG will.
and that's my worthless $0.02.

welcome to the Pantera forum bromaguire.
I can remember driving up the road from here to the Python factory and wanting one so bad I could taste it. When I was your age I couldn't afford one, so hats off to ya
Congrats.
They do run well and you'll have a blast in it.

Difference between a production built, and a hand built.

I have my eyes open for an older 24, love the look of the lifeline down the bow, something like what "bertgyver" posted. I'm in upstate NY. I have seen a few 24's up here on Lake George and I believe there a 1 or 2 that call this lake home.

Same reasons I bought mine.
I'm pretty sure mine is one of the 24's that was running around there a few years ago.
