My Pride Panther Boat

[Jesterarts]

So after I sold my DH bike, I felt that I didn't have enough toys and decided to add something new to my stable.

So I got myself a boat jointly with my future father in law. So I suppose it's more "My Float" than it is "My Ride".

It's a Pride Panther Hull (1985-1990) with a 1993 (ish) 140hp Evinrude v4 motor.

Picking it up on the weekend of the 19th.

Here are some early pics:

As you can see, it needs a little bit of TLC such as giving the hull a polish and cleaning the inside a bit.

Before I pick it up the dealer is fixing the throttle thing, putting a prop on it, servicing the motor and removing the VRO for me.

Very pleased with my purchase.

umm... it's not a vk... it's a boat... :hmmm:

But I paid $8000. It was originally listed for $11,000.

I actually went to this boat place to look at a smaller, cheaper boat but after I told the guy what I wanted it for he suggested this one would be better as it's a wider, deeper hull than what I was looking at and more suited to getting around the bay.

Looks good. Bet you're itching to get it out on the water!

Oh....and does it have a prop?

Thats a really nice boat for the price but why does the gear/lever/shifter (whatever it is) have tape on it?

Yeah, it comes with a prop.

Cheers!

It's taped up cause the plastic was broken. This is one of the items the dealer is sorting out for me before I pick it up
