Rich12:

2 of the 2000 lbs tires will carry 4000 lbs.   Its 2000 pounds per tire.  Unless your running one tire, you more than good to go.

Correct.  But the ones I had were C load tires.  Personally, I wanted something better.  I went with 14” D1 tires and it is much better.  Wheels are original 1999 wheels, so all they need is a good polish now.

Kyle J:

What model Pantera is going to make a difference. If it’s the boat in your picture it looks like maybe a classic with the deck insert in it.  But either way I’m not real sure the Suzuki in that HP range is going to be your best option. That’s going to be a small displacement 4 cylinder, where as Merc and Yamaha offer their big blocks…

Am I missing something?

I fish alone 99% of the time.  I mostly fish Beaver Lake and Norfork in Arkansas.  I know several guys who fish 18 1/2’ aluminum boats on these lakes.  But I’ve been told the Bobcat/Margay isn’t big enough for them.  Ho…Read more
