28' Pantera full pleasure version with full cabin powered by a single 496 HO - 425 Mercruiser package. Go to www.Panteraboats.com and see specs. and more pics. there.
Speeds with a 496 HO in a "full pleasure" configuration in the mid 60s on GPS. It is a big 28' with no platform included in that length.The 24' model powered by a single 496 HOs will run well in to the mid to upper 70s on GPS.

I have a 26 Donzi ZX, Solid Heavy and one of the few boats under 28ft to run 1000 Islands Poker Run. I run the boat hard and she gives me know problems. Ran side by side with Randy (Typhoon Racing) from the Sea Side Heights race 2 years ago in 5ft rollers at 60mph watched a 25 Baja next to me trying to keep up and his boat started to come apart. I felt bad for the Medics I had aboard even though they were egging me on, I knew it was a rough ride back 15 miles back to the inlet of solid air! The boat made a believer out of me.

I think it would be difficult to go wrong with an ACTIVE THUNDER, PANTERA or SONIC.
I know these builders and their boats. I have surveyed many of them of assorted vintages and they seem to age quite nicely with the minimum of upkeep.
Speak to Patrick at AT, Jo or Pepe at Pantera, (mother and wife Linda is a doll), and Sean at Sonic. Tell them what you have in mind and they'll work for you.
