Pantera II With A Rating Plate For 300HP/ 6 People

[JimFarrow]

How is this possible?  Factory error?  Saw it with my own eyes, even took a pic. Boat is a 2010 Pantera II.

Not sure a P2 was ever rated 300 hp.

[Chuck Bumpilori]

Nope! Never was rated for a 300!

I am not sure any Bass Cat was ever rated for 6 people either.  I just can’t fathom how this rating plate ended up on this hull.

My Puma Hybrid’s rating plate states up to 300hp. Insofar as passengers, I’ll go out on a limb and I think it’s 5!

There it is, 225 – 300hp 5 people on board! I still stand my statement regarding an old PII rated for only a 200! If you don’t believe me ask Rick!

Also note for model it just says 20’ but boat measures out right at 19’ as it should.

Looks like someone took the original plate off and replaced it with a plate from a different boat.  Those rivets would be super easy to drill out.

It’s not, it’s B.S. ! I owned a 1992 PII, max hp at that time 200hp!

It does look like it may have been replaced with normal aluminum rivets. The ones on factory labels are Avdel style steel core.

Does the label look like a real label?  Has there ever been a Bass Cat rated for 6 Persons?

[Bass Cat Boats]

Yes, it is an actual capacity label, though we don’t know where it originated from.
