I am so impressed now more than ever with this new to me 2009 Pantera II. Im kicking myself in the rear for not trying them sooner. What they say about go drive one is right. I had all my crappie gear (which is more than Bass Pro has) my wife and my 67″ son in the boat. A little chop on the water to start out and then small white caps. This boat is so responsive and it rides flat if that makes sense. Never felt out of control for a second. We hit real close to 65mph on GPS once and my wife didnt scream. It also handles really nice from the bow too. I love my boat even more than I did my last 2 Champions. For the way they respond and handle and the ride I actually like better. Did I say that. You better believe it. My wife said the same as well as my son. He kept repeating over and over about how great it rode. Amazing.
