I am looking at getting my first bass cat. I just wondering if there are any issues with the model 2000 Pantera Classic with Yamaha 200 V-Max. Let me know. NEWBIE!!Last edited by Measner27 on June 27th, 2013, 4:12 pm, edited 1 time in total.

There are no issues with a 2000 Pantera Classic we know of. Fiberglass stringer and hull, if not transom also. It is made of pure blend Vinyl Ester resin the EPA eliminated after 2003 and should be a nice set up.

My team partner had a 99 Classic, it was a great boat, he bought it new in 2000 and kept it till 2010, he won some in it and was a threat in every tournament he fished out of it. His was a 99 optimax and always ran great. He went to a triton in 2010, his wife is telling him to get a new boat now since his success rate has gone down a bunch since the change.

I have had an 02 Pantera Classic since Aug. of 2007. Mine has an 02 big block 200hp Optimax on it. It is my 10th bass boat but first Cat and as far as I am concerned the best of them all. Most of my other ones were very good – Champions and Skeeters, as well as a few others, but not as good as this Classic. Boat has been totally trouble free and other than having normal maintenance done so has the motor – replaced a couple trim switchs is it. I fish the Calif. Delta tidal waters all the time and has some pretty rough waters at times, no problem! Good luck, cant imagine not liking a Cat.

Plus since its a 2000 it should qualify for the transferable lifetime structural warranty.

Ive got a 99 Classic with an older prov 200 on it . — Great boat in all water conditions Ive seen . — Fast too . — With just a little tweaking on your Yammie mid / upper 70s is easily doable after you get some seat time .
