Ok when I was getting my 28 ready for the water spring of 13 this guy who was painting the new construction house next door saw it as I was bringing it out of the garage comes over and says nice Pantera, my dad had a 24 that looked very similar. So we talked boats for a while and I asked if he had any old photos because I knew that probably his dad's boat and mine were probably coming out of the factory at the same time by his description of it. The next day he stops over and has 2 photos of your boat from back in the day, I ask to take some digitalis of them with my phone as it is the same year and color as my boat. Based on the color scheme and power package I was sure it is your boat. Do you have that target trailer also? He is back painting another house across the street now so I plan on showing him the recent picture you posted of it on Lake George. If you want I will try to get contact info so you can contact him if you are interested in that. I am not sure but I think he was the original owner. Another small world story

A friend sent me this the other day. Boat is either 1978 or 1979. One of the first made factory 28 race boats. boat is currently still a Michigan boat. Im sure only one or two owners. Currently a twin SBC each are around 700 hp.
And this is how it looks today.... which is NOT the OPA boat.
