Hi, Ron
See if you can get a Serial Number off that motor Pantera is putting in your boat. It might be a used motor. Run the Serial through Mercruiser and they will give you the background information on it! Just another 2 cents worth.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
FT525 I really feel for you. It is really none of my business, but when you get your boat, I would really like to know why your boat has taken so long versus others. Were there other boats that began construction after yours completed before yours ? That would really upset me......and I am sure it does you as well.
I wish you the best

No the original Apache threads were huge. Some of it was lost in server transfers but they were huge. The first one was over 3400 posts and the second was around 660 so you got a ways to go. Take another 10 years to get the boat and then you will be closing in.

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525

Re: Hey Full Throttle 525
Man, I can't believe this thread - obviously there is significantly more to the story than has been posted thus far. I can't imagine the kind of excuses FT must be hearing.
Like someone mentioned above, this thread has convinced me to pass on ever building a new Pantera; we might look at a used one, but no way would I feel comfortable putting big $$$ on the table for a boat I might never see....
