we have been in punta gorda for 8 years love the boating here it can be dead flat or get 4 to 6 fts depends on the winds but in genearal nice water and can go south and north on the intercoastal when the golf gets rough its ideal

28 pantera would fit the bill nicely, and be well in your price range for a used one, 2 of them in the classifieds under $50K

I would not be asking if I could buy anything. I know it will probably be a used boat. So something in the $ 75,000 range.

Sounds like a 28isg with a 24* deadrise would fit the bill.

Always like Panters as my brother had a 24'er with a 454 in it.

I had a Rinker 23' 454 Magnum and it porpoised and was not good at white water at all. Then bought a Wellcraft 26' Nova ST T-350 Magnums...21* deadrise. Very good at white water but not a Cigarette. ;)

Length

Deadrise

Types of waters and challenges

Just an overview of what to expect/plan for and invest in for boating conditions in the Punta Gorda area. Might head for the Gulf now and then.

I would not be asking if I could buy anything. I know it will probably be a used boat. So something in the $ 75,000 range.

I was "toying" with the idea of a Kawasaki Jet Boat 20* deadrise Twin 25 and' 8'6" beam....looks fun but would I have to be limited to "channels"? Bad idea?

Thanks for your help!

I would not hesitate to look at these two 28 Panteras, both under $50k;

Since you've owned a 23 and 24, a 28 wouldn't be too big a jump. Plus you can run it anywhere, lake or ocean.

How bout a cat, still within your price range;

I think I am going to check that out and the Panteras too.

Just curious about if the Port Charlotte harbor is a no wake zone or speed limit or can you let it rip? :coolcowboy:
