Project: Pantera 41

Pantera presents the project and rendering for a new bigger flagship model the 41. When launched this model will be Pantera biggest built to date taking over from the 36 as the flagship of the range. As usual from the US Miami Florida based builder, this will be a racing designed and ready powerboat with a fast sea kindly attitude. Hull shape is a deep vee with two steps and 24 degrees deadrise aft, all this aimed at reducing drag and increasing performance to the max. Pantera hulls are renowned for being fast but also very seaworthy. Interior accommodation as any respected powerboat will be classy and spartan, I would accept a saloon with a vee shape here but details have not been announced. Same goes for the twin engines with no numbers being given, but i would accept various twin petrol options with the smallest of these giving like 50 plus knots. Propulsion is twin stern drive. What would be surely nice is to see this Pantera compete in the World renowned PowerboatP1 series, hope that I encouraged someone from here.
