The Pantera Classic was debuted at Houston’s 2017 Bassmaster Classic and hit market in 2018 consistently and hundreds now exist in that style.
The poster above is accurate on the Vision model. The materials in the construction are still the proprietary Iso resin, Owens Corning glass, gelcoats and all. The carpet is 16 ounce now, while the seat vinyls are the same as 2021 on Premium models. You can get Vinyl Ester AME-6001 resin if you prefer. The trailer comes 3” frame and black only with 14” wheels, while the center interior is gelcoat in white only, with a stripe on the sides. Transom is a little lighter as it doesn’t carry the big 225 and larger horsepower.
The interior construction integrates the boxes in the floor design, as was started on the Margay and carried over to the Bobcat. The system was designed to reduce labor and improve small boat quality with finished boxes, and it is not glassed though is adhered with urethane.
The process started in 2010 model year and has proven excellent with absolutely zero structural issues to this point. We replaced one deck on a Pantera Classic due to impact, which required repairs to the rear interior grillage also. There was damage inside on that boat at all rear flex points from the impact. Removal of the deck impressed the floor staf in how well it was adhered and how hard it was to take apart.
Covering a comment: We know the consumer may read this and comment as there is only one we’ve worked on for damage. Though skeg, gearcase impact and interior damage definitely existed.
