Well I have been a member here for quite a while and have looked at 10-15 boats to buy during that time. Im generally very busy and always wanted a boat but never knew if I would have the time to use it. Seems like all the 18-22 Donzis I have looked at thru the years were out of line in price (IMO) or hadn't been cared for well. About 1 1/2 years ago I happen to see two boats stored in a shop behind my workplace, I would see them outside rarely and later found out the owner lived in Mich. and visited not so frequently. About 6 months ago I hear one is for sale and go over immediately, It was a 1978 24x7 Pantera. I was immediately taken back to 1980 when my dad took me to the Excalibur plant when I was 12, he looked at a 24x7 Excalibur, which is basicaly this same boat. We made a deal that day and he was to bring the title his next trip to FL. and I would pay up, well the next time he was down I was out of state and so on....So after near 6 months, I have it, very nice, everything works and it runs great.
