I was in the same situation. Hard to find the boat you want when it is not a baja or something similar. I basically broke my search down to 24 Panteras and also looked at 24 Pythons. I looked at a couple pythons. Python seemed to be a good boat, but really did not compare to the Pantera I ended up with. Also depends where you are, as you will find a lot of pythons in the southeast. Looked at Superboat too, but never got to get in one. From the long list noted, you will most likely find the Panteras, Pythons and super boats. From what I found, You are best to rank them as Pantera, Superboat, Python. Wait for the Pantera, if you can. I am tickled pink with mine!

What I understand after a year or so investigation the "24x7" started with this "Magnum Marine 23" designed by Harry Schoell (on Don Aronows order) for Doc Bob Magoon. (orginaly with o/b's)
24 Adrenaline
24 Aero
24 Carrera
24 Cheetah
24 Cobra
24 Condor
24 Corsa/Martini (25)
24 Excalibur
24 Jaws
24 Monza
24 P&D
24 Pantera
24 Panther
24 Phyton
24 Seabird
24 Scorpion
24 Sunsation
24 Superboat
...and many more......
I'm pretty sure the biggest boat with roots in the 24x7 is 32 Activator (stretched from the 27)
The 24 Cigarette SS and 24 Banana Boat (both 8ft beam) are NOT from the 24x7.
I have only experience from the 24 Pantera, it's the best one and good enough for me
(I have own 4 of them)
Mange
The 23 Magnum (build 1966 what I have found out, now on a shipyard in UK)

I didn't realize there were so many options out there in that 24x7 size..
I looked into that Sunsation Aggressor and it looks to be even more rare than the Pantera. I also didn't really find having a sink in the cabin necessary and it would probably just get in the way of my feet if I ever tried to lay down in there. lol
I bet that I may find a good many Pythons around my area. I will definitely give one or two a look before I make my decision.
Unfortunately, the wife and I just bought a new house and she'd skin me alive if I bought a boat before putting up a big cedar privacy fence ($$$) around the backyard and buying various other things like those fancy front loading washer and driers. lol
Thanks for all of the ideas. I'll hopefully own a boat by next Summer.

the Carrera 24 was and still is the best rough water 24 of that era..
Picon built one hell of a 24..

I have a 24' python with a 502cui bravo 1. The boat is amazing in rough stuff on lake erie. I have had it in 3ft+ waves and it does great. Python built a solid boat.

Magnum 23 Ultimatum No 500
I saw your remarks about Magnum 23 and I used to own Ultimatum from 1972 to 1974. We finished 5th in the 1973 CTC
Has anyone any photographs of her which I would be willing to buy.
