2008 Hondo Pantera Coming Soon

I believe James Brendel made that deck. Hondo has changed owners a few times with changes to the boats each time. I will get a quick history.

Hey Tom that boat looks really familliar! probably cuz it used to be mine, sold that boat to Hal about 6 or 7 years ago,Ill have to find some pics of what it looked like when i bought it. I fully restored and re rigged that boat. I painted it in my buddys machine shop early one sunday mornin before the dust kicked up! Had some good times with that boat at naci and San Antonio.

Anything with only one seat officially lost the rights to be a "lake boat"! It becomes a race boat!

I have been working with Dale Ferriera (Hondo Boats). We are going to lay up a 2008 Hondo Pantera T-Deck for me. Dale is going to start building boats again in any stage needed. Pics Coming Soon

So how long do you expect before we get to see the new ride?

« **Reply #41 on:** May 12, 2008, 09:03:43 PM »

It will be a little while. The red tape with the coast guard and liabilities is neverending, but we are on it. Also laid out blueprints to build a new boat building shop and engine building room with a DTS Dyno.

Is it possible to get CF registration for race boats that don't have a HIN?

i dont think so

but just like with race cars that are converted to the street, probably some kind of inspection like the dmv does. i will stop speculating since i dont know.

« **Reply #45 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:17:42 AM »

I think you can register as a homebuilt,and I'm sure there would be a DMV inspection. As a homebuilt the resale probably wouldn't be crap, except to insiders. Disclaimer - I have no idea what I am talking about, but it makes sense to me.

« **Reply #46 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:23:50 AM »

I think its something like this..........They look for #'s and if they cant find any, they give you some and call it a runabout

But then again..........I did hit the pipe pretty hard this morning

2 Sav Nailed it ! If you don't have any HIN or paper work or MSO (manufacturers certificate of origin) you go to DMV with ALL the copies reciepts for wood, fiberglass, screws bolts nuts etc ,you swear (make) a "statement of facts" (under penalty of perjury) and "presto" you got a SPCN (special constuction) Boat with hin and CF #s etc . Sometimes they will physically inspect it, most times not ,inspection is understandable should be anticipated considering the possibilty Theft /stolen boats etc . Then you can "petition" the DMV for a name change from spcn to whatever eg if its a Hondo etc (however this doesnt always work) Tom
