Dealer in MN or WI

[jhanson1114]

I am planning on ordering a Pantera Classic early this summer. I am looking for a dealer in MN, WI, or really even IA or SD. I am looking for good service during and after the sale. There is a dealer about an hour from my house, the problem is they have limited hours which is making it hard to visit the dealer and that scares me for service in the future.

Also, I see that Helix 7's and a Fortrex are standard options. I have electronics and a trolling motor, can I order one without those options?

Lybacks in Mn, and Helm Marine in SD

If you plan on ordering one early this summer you won't receive it till winter.

Get a hold of Eddie at LYBACKS. He has a classic there now that is very nice. Ed is open 7 days a week in summer. I know his techs are very well trained. There is white crap still on ground so they may have backed up the "spring" process

Lybacksmarine.com there are pictures on the site of the classic that he has in stock.

That is a sharp looking Classic at Lybacks.

Cedar Lake Sales in Wisconsin is also an option.

I would definitely give Eddy Lyback a call. I looked at that Classic while he had it at the Northwest Sportshow and it was an awesome rig. If Lybacks is the one you were talking about with hours that don't work for your schedule I am quite sure they will accommodate you. They are a great shop.

Pulling a trolling motor off isn't too hard, the flush mounted graph on the console might be a bit more work but anything is possible.

Cedar Lake Sales In SE Wisconsin is good but may be a bit of a drive for you as they are a long ways from Minnesota, Iowa, or South Dakota

I always buy mine without electronics, it's never been a problem to get them to pull the indash.

I actually was considering this boat, I contacted them about it and tried setting up a time on the weekend. However they are not open on weekends until May. Usually I am on they water well before May when we don't have 3'-4' of ice on the lakes still. Since I would need to wait until May to meet with them, I decided I might as well keep my current boat through the summer and order the exact boat I want.

I am not worried as much about the trolling motor, I am not going to flush mount graphs so it would be ideal to order one without electronics.

If you are planning on going Mercury, you may want to give some thought as to whether you want the Opti or the new four stroke as that may factor into your order time placement. Mercury is no longer producing the 200 Opti Pro XS, so, if that is what you want, it is very likely that you would have to place an order soon to ensure that you get one of BCB's (or a dealer's) in stock Optis.

I am very interested in the four stroke, but I am not sure on buying the new motor that early. I had not heard they wont be producing the Pro XS 200 anymore. When will production stop?

It seems like Cedar Lake has been mentioned a lot and all good. I think I am going to give them a call, I am excited to get it ordered!

I made a mistake. Don Weed said the 2.5 L engines are no longer in production. Sorry.
Looks like the 200 is still in production

Depending where you are in MN, Give Michael at Helm Marine in Aberdeen, SD a call. He has been very helpful to me.

Had a good experience at Cedar Lake with some warranty service work on my Opti and my trailer brakes.
