Or I should say on the right water it's a fun hull to run fast. On rough water it's just a fun hull, save the fast...
Or you might say It's a hull of a lot of fun..

I had a 24 Pantera that I ran to 93-94 ish. It had more with more tweaking, but I ran out of cohones after my son was born. Accelerated like it was shot out of a cannon. As Phragle said, in snotty water, the boat was an absolute blast running around 70 or so.

Sounds awesome! What were you running for power? Got any pics?

Also My wife and I just had our first back in August (a son also). She eventually wants to go bigger and have onboard ac. Which to me also means slower, but I could live with a 35-12meter Fountain after a few years. I'd really like a y2k with ac tho. Be fairly cheap to run and we trailer all the time, so it would be a good fit..,

back in the early 90's , I had a 24 superboat (1976) that we changed from trs to bravo 1 and put a bbc with a twin turbo gale banks set up running 12 lbs of boost. it had the old nordskog speedo that I used to pin passed 85. Not really sure how fast it really went. Boat was a blast to drive..

That's not a 24x7 boat.

Cmon, Nick 96. You can do better than that. You were doing 87 in a 21ft.

No pics on the computer. Was running a Procharged 460 at around 625 hp swinging a 29 Mirage for speed runs. I was bound and determined to get that boat to 100 but life interrupted.

That setup sounds real familiar!

Hey now, 87.9, get it right!! Lol





Man, that 21 was a bad ass boat. Still wish I owned it.. it's also the reason I sped up the 24.
