Not looking to buy right now but the 28 AT will definitely be on my short list if/when I move up.

What will a 28 run with a stock HP500? And what's the story on this boat:

Wasn't this boat for sale for about $60k a few months ago? That seems like a great price!

I don't have any info on that boat, but its a steal at that price. Call the factory and ping Pat, Jay, or Frank on some speed numbers. Pat will know off the top of his head on the speeds.

I thought it was a great price too. I hate to bother anyone at the factory when I'm not looking to buy right now. I plan on keeping the Pantera for at least a couple years. :D

I figured with the weight of the boat it should run about 72 with a HP500 in some chop with a light load. Just a guess.

Good guess. My 2001 28 AT w/HP500efi would do 71.

Re: AT 28 Questions
 
tell Sydways that, no actually I drove a Cig with the Konrads and it was great, Biggus "Kurt" is a company rep it was his boat I drove, I bet one of those would last
900-1000 hrs behind a 525

I was out in Boatfreak28's 28 AT and all I can say is wow. That boat is a kick a$$ true 28' offshore boat. I have owned 2 28' V's and the AT shames both boats in the rough what. The fit and finish is excellent and the free board is second to none when in the drives seat the sides of the hull come up to the middle of my chest. Talk about a secure feeling. The boat is layed out excellent. The only down fall is you need to decent HP to make the boat run fairly fast. Here is a pic of the boat on Lake Michigan. Mike I hope you don't mind me posting it.

I was told you need a blue motor to make a 28 go. But Blue = more insurance $$ Thats why I didn't buy 1 when I was lookin at 28 singles

Re: AT 28 Questions

Re: AT 28 Questions

cosmic12 08-20-2006 02:36 PM

Re: AT 28 Questions

Re: AT 28 Questions
 
I left friday at 8:30am needed to get back to the office. I fowarded my office calls to my cell and used a headset to work on the 3 hour tow home.
I wish I had a slip up there or lift.
