The swim platform is sick. It is built into several mounting points on the transom. The boat spent most of its life doing the Catalina ski race. I have the pole that mounts in the middle for pulling a skier. But now that the boat will be used for pleasure, it's time to make a stripper pole for the hole.

.. 800HP in a non stepped 28 Pantera is going to run 85MPH . It takes 1000HP to hit the 100 mark in the Pantera . THE ONLY BRAVO BASSED DRIVE's THAT WILL HOLD that weight boat and power is the SCX or a Xpower . After 4 years and probably about 20K I've recorded on video and 3gps's 104 mph still only running 800HP N/A . But just to let you know my SB is only 7' beam and it is stepped .
In the end you throw enough power at any boat and you can make it fast , My reality check came when OuterLimits 29' hit 100mph with a 525 and 125mph with 850hp . That was the moment when I realized my hull really isn't that fast .

I did not buy this boat to be the fastest in the water. I bought this boat because I have wanted a Pantera since I started boating. I like to be different and own a boat that you rarely see on the water. I would say I drive conservative and will do my best to make the drive last. What would you say the max power I can put in this boat to make a reliable package. It has a built XR with 2 hours on it.

Sorry I was just responding to this
I have 800hp on a built XR . No hole shots , No hard turns under power , No wave jumping and it still has a fuse that has been lit waiting for the explosion . Unfortunately you said you want to be able to cruise at 75mph but that is just as hard on a drive in a 7000 pound boat with a single as all of the above . Just drive it ! If it breaks it breaks ! You can pick a spare up from 3-5k . do what I do , keep it in the garage so you can boat the next day or in the back of the truck on poker runs and events you go to and Rock ON .
I think I'll always want and love Pantera's also but unfortunately they haven't made and probably never will the one that perfect for me ..
