24' is 7' and the 28' is 8'. I believe that someone in the old school section said that the 24 came from the first non-plugged formica mold (PD, JAWS, Pantera, etc).
The 28 is really what I'm curious about. The 27 Mags do seem narrower than the Pantera in some photos.

The "two" boats that are pictured are the Second-ish Pantera 28 race boat ever built. It was a '78 originally and then was re-built and updated into an '89 at some point... It comes up for sale frequently on eBay and there's a great deal of discussion in the Pantera section.

On LSC we have some nice Panteras too, Ygrowup use to race with the P-21 team. And the LSC M-8 became this white an blue Pantera of Mark P. Can't forget Bill, [OPA here on OSO] he has 2-1/2 Pantera's, a 24' & 28' , and the deck of the old DOUBLE CROSS hanging in his restaurant.

Man that's great stuff! you north coasters sure know how to do it! And what's with Panteras and turn bouys? Every shot I see, the Pantera looks like it's about to tackle the bouy! Great photo!
I knew a guy (friend of a friend) in the Thousand Islands who, I think, had an old Mag... It was a blue boat called Snap Shot. The family owned a camera shop in Syracuse. Anyone know the boat?

Wow! Really funny. My buddy and are are in the middle of an IM discussion about how "related" the Mag and Pantera hulls are because I'm trying to talk him into buying a Mag!
So, does anyone know? Looking at the 27 Mag, it looks like a cutdown Pantera. I'm guessing that the 28 Mag maybe got cut into the 27 and maybe (to be polite) has a direct paternal influence on the 28 Pantera.
I posted a photo of a Mag that looks very "Pantera" to me...
