I know this may be a long shot. I knew a guy in 1982 i believe who bought a 28 pantera, new i believe, his name was Howard Ferguson. He docked it in the clifton lagoons in Lakewood ohio. It looks like the "Black Velvet" pantera in the owners secton of the Pantera web site. I was wondering if anyone knew the wearabouts of this boat?

I think he is still there in Cleveland. In 2003ish I did coastal Marines Poker run and he was in it. I know he is on the other site occasionally and I think this one two very rarely.

I remember being on this boat when i was about 13 my brother was the mechanic. I can't ask him any whereabouts because he has since passed away in 1984, also Howard Ferguson has passed away also in the 1990's. I wonder if Pepe or Jo remember this boat? Hell it may have been earlier than a 1982.

Old thread, but Howard ferguson was the wrestling coach at st. Edward when I was there in the mid 80's. He died in the early 90's while out jogging. He was barely 50 years old.
I used to practice in his basement as he had a full wrestling gym at his house and the team would practice there.
