Wow!! Looking for a stand up bolster single though.

Non stepped 92?😳 How much power does the 565 make?

I dont think there is anything faster with a single that I know of then this...DCB m29 with single 1350 merc. 140 mph

Buck Stracener [ no more bucks ] has been to 151 and better in his Nordic 28ss cat .

I'm really glad this thread came back to life!
I to have been looking for something a little longer that will seat 4 in the back seat that runs a respectable speed.
I've gotten over thinking I wanted a supercharger sticking up thru the hatch so I've been looking at the 26' to 29' step bottom hulls that run 80 with a stock Merc-Racing 525 or comperable. I'm very familiar with the LaveyCraft from the Factory-1 days, and remember all the write-ups when the Howard lit-up the pages of Power Boat mag with their speeds.
I was thinking there were a couple of 288 Sunsation out there that ran pretty good and was surprised none were mentioned. So, are there any other names that haven't been mentioned that might make the list? Is the former Factory-1 28 Pantera a stepped bottom or straight?

I'm not for sure on the Factory-1 28 Pantera? Curious to know the same! I see you have an Active Thunder like my friend John Vineyard has. Very fast non stepped single V bottom boat!! I have ridden in the new stepped 288 Sunsation with a 502 and it was entirely too rough for me! I've never been lucky enough to ride in a Hustler 29 Rockit but I hear they are the cats meow in rough water and runs in the 90's with 700HP. Drawback is he wants 100K for one less power and drive which is way too rich for my blood. Uncle Dave on here responded years back with his Laveycraft when I started this thread and was very impressed with his #'s and reviews but have yet to see one in my area here in the ville. The Nordics ride to rough for my blood too. That's why I've been inquiring on the 29 Fountain for the money with a 525. I'm curious to see some more feedback on V bottom, stepped hull singles! It's apparent the catamarans are the fastest but I want a stand up bolster v bottom boat that i can comfortably sleep in. Bring on the feedback.....

Fairly certain all 28 Panteras are straight bottom.

It pulled 787HP on the dyno. Yes, non-step.

pantera make a step bottom 28

My wife and I boat camp a lot on Catalina Island on our 29 NuEra Lavey Craft. It has 2 steps and runs 76 GPS on a Stock 575sci. It rides in the ocean well enough that my wife doesn't make me trade it in for a SeaRay or something. I only have a porta potty and it is comfortable for 1 or 2 nights. You won't find any closed bow Laveys around and if you do, you should jump on it. If you are ever in Los Angeles I will take you for a ride. Uncle Dave has a 2750 so between both of our boats you can probably get a good idea what you want if you were interested in a Lavey Craft.
