Definately a Cig, Flyes level and lands smooth, they are a real strong running boat in the rough and are built like brick ****houses;) If I had any other choice for a 28 it would either be a Pantera or a Saber:cool:

Tim, I have been on 28 Sonics with BB and SB. The boat is not balanced well. The boat starts to 'bounce' if you will at speeds new 60 mph. The BB boat did it (Father owned one) and the SB boat did it too (good buddy of mine owned one for one summer).

Sonic doesn't make the 28 any more, and it doesn't surprise me.

Its to bad that twins are a must because I think you would be impressed with the way a 288 Sunsation runs in the rough. Now I haven't played with mine in the ocean, but run Lake Ontario lots and that water can get really rough and unpredictable. I push mine hard and other boaters are surprized to see only one outdrive on the back after we've gone in a poker run or fun run.

Does Apache make a 28 anymore? Or do you have to find one 10 years old?

i recently sold this

Don't even look at anything else in the 28' range !!!

You won't be sorry !!! And your buddy's will be pissed !:D

First of all..why would anyone want to buy a 28' Saber, and take a bath on it, when you turn around and try and sell a "no-name" brand boat???

My advice to you, is to buy something that is going to hold it's value for more than a year. Unless you can get it for $20K with 500hp's, because that is what the last one I heard went for (buzzin bye)

Tim-
The room in your engine compartment looks a LOT better than that Powerplay I looked at. Inboard work doesn't look so menacing on your Pantera. I've always admired their classic offshore lines.
Scorps are the absolute nuts on boats this size- I think two of the 28' AT's with twins have them, and they are 80+ GPS boats.
Although not a custom, the Formula 292 with Scorps is a well-built fast boat, but more like 27' in length without the molded-in swim platform, and should almost make this list?

Nice First Post !
 
Todd35.... First post and it's very negative...go figure :rolleyes: You just broke the #1 rule for ever having any credibility. I would tell ya about Dan's boat and it's value but, you ain't worth it.
