We reported on this Liberator two months ago when it was fresh out of the paint booth to begin the rigging process. One quick look at this eye-catching Liberator gives no doubt that this is another creation of Liberator Boats of Florida, or more specifically, 'The Wildman' Randy Corson.

The boat has his signature style of exquisite paint work and a completely color-coordinated interior. The boat features zero-effort controls, SeaStar power steering assist, a Garmin LCD panel that displays all engine functions and status, beautiful powder-coated hardware from Eddie Marine and of course, a monster 600-watt sound system. A powered hatch, trim tabs and swim steps complete what is an incredible package that will have performance to match its looks.

Raleigh, NC – The name Pantera Boats conjures up memories of Miami’s notorious Thunderboat Row and the rousing days of offshore powerboat racing, when tough men fought rough waters in new hulls to earn trophies and bragging rights. Says legendary offshore racer, race boat builder and author of Tales from Thunderboat Row, Allan “Brownie” Brown, “The heart of these boats, the hull shape, was drawn by a small number of visionary architects. Some were ugly, some ‘wet,’ some fell apart. The survivors, Formula, Cigarette, Magnum, Apache, Cougar, Donzi, and Pantera, are all still existent in one form or another. I just learned that Pantera was rescued by a young and willing builder who intends to integrate today’s space age materials with the well-known ride and performance of the Pantera. Should be a good fit!”

Powerboat Drag Racing With A Focus on Accessibility and Safety ▼

When I began Scream And Fly over 20 years ago, I knew nearly nothing about powerboat drag racing and most especially, outboard-powered drag boats. I thought it was essentially a powerboat version of car drag racing, and there might be little else to distinguish them in terms of the experience of seeing and racing in outboard powerboat drag races. That notion was abruptly put to rest when I attended my first organized drag boat races, which was the Outboard Drag Boat Association World Championship races at Jasper, Tennessee in 2002.

One of the most critical aspects of every center console’s performance is at what RPM the vessel gets on plane. It is here that the Sharrow Propeller's performance is remarkable. It can be seen clearly in the charts that the boat is nearly on plane at 2500 RPM and 15.4 mph.

The conventional props tested on the Robalo R302 were stainless steel 15.25” x 19” (38.73 cm x 48.26 cm). The Sharrow props were 15.04” x 19” (38.02 cm x 48.26 cm).
