nice choices... wanna throw joker into the mix.
Extreme will have the tightest cockpit, and i'm thinking its a boat u gotta drive. But low 80s w/ 496ho...
Y2K probably most for your $. More modern styling.
Pantera's not normally a sitdown boat. But a great boat, not nearly as fast as the other 2.

i'm not sure dave would build an extreme w/ that power.
And a pantera would be slower w/ that than an extreme w/ a 496.
depends on the kind of boating you do.

I boat here in SW FL on the GOM and Intracoastal waterways. I boat with a group down here(Ft. Myers Offshore) and we do Fun runs about 1 a month. So I would like to be able to cruise at 60+ to keep up with the bigger boats.
So, what kind of boat am I looking for, ... a 30'er that will handle 6'ers, single drive, WOT in the mid 80's, and have "some" creature comforts in case I needed to sleep. lol
I guess that sounds like the ShotGun Extreme w/496?
And tell me more about the Joker. Or how to get ahold of them.
The Y2K does 68mph w/496 @ 375hp as advertised on website. (Estimating speed on Y2K w/496 @ 425hp at 72-74mph)
There must be some magic going on with the bottom of the hull on the Extreme to get an extra 10mph with only 50hp more.
I estimated that a Y2K with 650hp to be in the mid 80's.
I did call Extreme requesting more info.
I do like the idea of being 2 hours away from the Company.
Thanks again Stormrider

do a search on Joker Powerboats. If you looki in the classifieds, you can get more info.
You may also want to look at a 28saber, but like the pantera, its a bigger 28. I too like the idea of the builder being close by.
Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks for the info Storm.
Well, 3 of the 4 boats are built within a 2-3 hour drive of my home. That leaves Superboat, the most boat for the $, a day away. lol I did find the Joker web site. Thanks again & updates will be coming.
