28ft with single or twins ?
 

Looking at a couple Pantera's. Will be spending a decent amount of time in the Atlantic Ocean. Just curious which is a better, running, riding, handling pkg...single 500 efi or twin 500 hp's (carb) motors

Re: 28ft with single or twins ?
 

I think the weight of the twins may help out in the slop, but many like the balance of the single better.
Sorry, I'm of no help.
Take a ride on both. :drink:

I've owned a twin smallblock 28' Pantera and it was awesome to say the least but personally if I ever get another one i would prefer the simplicity of a single. A lot easier to maintain..which to me equals more fun. my .02

Bernie, Wazzup can build you a mean single motor to push the 28 thru the Jersey shore...

Hi Angel, busy and I`m sure you are too, I`m taking the boat out on Sunday weather permit. Say hello to Gloria for me, later Albert

Bernie I`m going to race with Bruce in the Cambridge race if some buisness trips I have comming dont interfere with the dates. Albert

Re: 28ft with single or twins ?
 

Bern....I would recommend a single engine as well , BUT.....you will not be happy with a single 500efi. Youll be seeing 70 mph at best. And after running over 100 in your cat, you'll think your in a row boat.

You'll need at least 650 hp to make that puppy run 80 or better.

2003, 165 hrs on hull, less on the drive train (replaced lower with Imco/XR after finding a shoal late last yr, went thru the upper which looked great). sold the original 575SCI and put in a HP500efi with Whipple, stroked to 540 and DartPro1 heads, 30 hrs on engine, all reciepts and dyno sheets, done right by a reputable shop. Trailer is new AL tandem with lots of upgrades (Sold the steel Myco cause I wanted to go to the ocean once a yr)
