Thumbs up 28 Pantera..... Enough said

I went out today with Albert (Miamiboys) on his boat and we went out Hallover inlet. It was RUFF i mean RUFF (10-12 ft swells inlet) All the boats where turning around because no one wanted to go out the inlet. Albert looked at me and said " Mike are you up for it " and of coarse i said "let's go!!!!" The 28 took it like a CHAMP we were at least 15 feet in the air with the bow facing stright up like if we were luanching into outerspace and the boat handled incredible. All i have to say is when people ask for opinion on boats in the 28 feet length, the only way to go is 28 PANTERA......... ENOUGH SAID

p.s= Albert thanks so much for taking me out today and giving me a memory that i will NEVER forget. I'm so glad i was able to have it with such a great friend like you. Like we told each other "what happen today no one will believe it unless they were there in person to witness it. My old man is one lucky guy to have you as a throttle man.

Jr Mike

We ran out Hillsboro around 10:45 and ran around for a good while. No speedboats what-so-ever. As we were going out we saw a 50+ Sportfishes who went out about 50 ft. and came back in. Where were all the Apaches?

It was one of those days that unless you were out there you'd never believe it

All I have to say is that Mike took it like a man, it was a stupid decision in my part taking him in that inlet the way it was atleast 8/9. I for one wont make that mistake again unless I`m heading to the milling area for the start of a race. Mike thank you for the kind words glad you witness big waters going from Haulover to Goverment cut, I know you were very excited being inside the Pantera flying for a good 15 miles in 4 to 6`s footers.

During my water test in my 28 we went out in 6-8's. It was the biggest water I had ever been in. I was maybe 50/50 on buying the boat before that. I made the deal to buy it an hour later. They are incredibly solid and can handle the rough like only a few other 28's can.
