I purchased a new Pantera Classic in February. I have had it out 10 times or so now and have the used the live well at least 5 times. The only issue I have is the lights for the timers are hard to see in the sun, but I think this goes for all models. The big thing that annoys me is the aerator and recirculator shuts off once you get on the big motor. I understand the recirculator shutting off but the aerator should stay on IMO. I have had fish it in all times I have used it during tournaments with no fatalities to date. It has a manual drain that I pull once I load and it drains after I pulled my plug. I do favor the left side since this is where the spray side is, I put fish that I know I will cull on the right (this is facing the live wells to the back of the boat). This time of year I do throw either frozen water bottles or ice in the live wells in this heat to help cool it down around 11 or so, especially if Ive had fish in there since first thing in the morning.
