You need to educate yourself on Pantera's. Watch the video on the 28 they just delivered:

Laveycraft is what I want, can't spend $50k or bert4332's boat would be in my storage right now!
Thanx for plug G-Note, I had it out all week, ran great, again this time of year, +30mph winds and everyone only wants to ride on my boat. I probably won't have it back in the water until September, going back to Annapolis then out of the country for a while. If things change when I get back, trip up to Dallas and we'll go out for a ride.

I had a guy out on Sunday who runs a 28 Nordic cuddy, he couldn't believe the difference in the ride. We were doing 68 into a 25mph head wind in about 2ft chop with an occasional 3, he couldn't believe he didn't spill on drop of his full beer.

Good Luck

Let me know, I am supposing you might be more negotioable when you get back from making all the money out of the country...

Look at the Checkmate 300 Convincor or a ZT28.

24 degree deadrise, pad bottom, notched transom. Ride great in the rough. Will do low 70's with 496 MAG HO and run high 70's-80 with the 525 EFI. I have ridden in them and they are nice and roomy, take the chop great and have nice lines.

I love the 28' Pantera's but they're out of my price range...

G-note, you may not heard of Mirage boats built in Washington state.They were built rough water in mind for the Pacific Northwest.I have a 25'7 model [ less than a dozen built with twins ] and the 314 in this link is also a rare model ,maybe 6 built . Check it out, little over your budget but who knows how desperate the seller may be. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1998.../United-States
