Hey WildThing:

I haven't had the boat on LIS yet because it hasn't been delivered to me yet. I spoke to Linda late this afternoon and she said that Barbie should be leaving tomorrow for CT. I'm going to call her in the morning to see if that's a definite. Will keep you posted.

Hey B:

I've never had a stepped boat so I wouldn't know the difference, however, being a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", the conventional deep vee is the best for the snot and that's just fine for me.

We didn't get a chance to go out in the ocean because of the speedometer supply line leaking and we didn't have the tools to fix it, so we just ran at a bearable speed. However, JO and I spoke about throttling and controling speed in rough water, etc...

Will keep everyone posted on delivery.

the 28 Pantera is easy to drive in rough water. Usually throttles all the way foward and just avoid digging the nose into the back of a wave. If its over 4 footers, maybe cut back to 3/4 throttle. THey also have a tendancy to lean, at least mine does, so constant trimming is usually required unless you have perfect conditions.

All this input is really great.., however, I won't know until I get the boat North. I'm just waiting for someone at the factory to let me know if my boat is coming up North.

The trailer is registered, information sent south...waiting..waiting...waiting.
