    The hull definitely looks like it could have originally been a Cig 24 or Mag 25 .
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !

    Sure looks like it's running nicely. The angle of attack is beautiful.

    Looks like fun. Im guessing Avanti also.
    BTW who cares if its in the wrong section... Enjoy life and dont sweat the small chit
    The sting of poor quailty far outlasts the Joy of a cheap price...

    Ok enough

    It is a 1995 Python w/540. It will run 83 everyday and a best of 86 GPS.

    The Donzi Hornet III got me going on the performance boat thing. In the end, the boat just was just not fast enough at 70 mph. Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. Relax and have a beer!

    The smaller pythons were copies of the classics I seem to remember the 24 python hull was a copy of the 24 pantera hull.

    Have seen some discussion that the pantera superboat 24 hulls were taken
    from the unsold 23 Excalibur hull. If you go to the pantera site there are pics of the 24 one of them is almost the exact shot angle of ft's first pic add the
    10 percent rule and add the molded windshield ontop of the fairing. Looks
    pretty close to me
