I think the freeboard is all relative. More freeboard will make you feel a little safer, but the AT cockpit is smaller than the pantera. Also on hot TX days - I prefer less freeboard. I've never been in a 28 AT, but I have been in a 32 fountain that had a lot more freeboard then the 28 Pantera. The only thing I could see were the bolsters. When I sat in the back seat of the pantera you can see everything and you don't need to stand up to enjoy the water. From a back seat passengers perspective - less freeboard is a more enjoyable ride because you can see whats going on.

Its all personal preference, and who buys a boat for the backseat passengers enjoyment anyways? Their just happy-go-lucky to be there and chip in for gas.

I did a short local poker run in the backseat of a 33 Outlaw. As you know, the cockpit of that boat is big enough to hold a small party. However, the freeboard is so shallow that I could get my hand wet by hanging it over the side while sitting in the backseat. I did not find this as secure as a deep freeboard boat; and would have much rather had more boat around me. I am not complaining; its a great boat owned by a friend, and the cockpit room is spectacular. Again, its all personal preference.

Bern....28 AT is the only choice. Not bashing other boats, they all have their good and bad points but the AT will out perform the other choices.

I agree buy the AT but the guy in Florida with the Velocity has the best advertising pics.
