Not really sure. I have 2 factory build sheets and one says 6200 dry and the other says 6800 dry. I will weigh mine in the spring.

i was in a straight bottom top gun. we were in lake ontario 5-6 footers. 1000's and konrads. 99mph gps. flew perfectly straight and flat. i was standing between the bolsters..could have drank a beer and not spilled a drop but we forgot them at the dock that day..

under 30 ft i really like my pantera 28. another great ride is my friends 1980 27 magnum. havent been in many 30-35 footers. i wouldnt mind the 84 flatdedck with 1000's+ and #6's for sale right now wave crushing beast!

not necessarily the fastest boat but for its size its an incredible riding boat. they dont like the flat water. need a 2 foot chop to get it to let go and really get running

Look at the particular model and see if it races in offshore, Then count the checkered flags.

Fountain has one quite a few offshore races but nobody is talking about them as a "rough water boat" even though they do quite a bit over seas where it's pretty rough on a regular basis
