uh, that was not me!

Albert , your gonna mis her...........well I guess you can always call me to go out so that I can return the favor for the times you called me. Let me know when and we'll go.... as soon as I find those 525.......by the way I purchsed the xr/its on Tuesday so Im almost there.....let me know.

Albert,

I am actually just joking, would have gotten in the boat as 3rd man anytime, but when you asked me to take the wheel, I had to be honest and tell ya to find someone with more experience, these boats are forgiving, but anything can happen.

Rick

I am sure it wasnt you frank.....................................your not married:D

you aint kidding, I got hooked on my first ride in Tims 28 with twins, and that was only 78MPH, I cant even imagine what the mig was like. I wish I had the coin to find out:D

Albert, I bet you didn't get Ed Cozzi to cry today! The Mig got a clean bill of health from Dr. Cozzi and it sounds like you guys had a good time on the sea trial! Wish I could have been there. This is the only boat I've bought that the survey guy described it in better condition than the owner. Ed was definately impressed. Can't wait to check it out in person.
Dan

Dan, I was privileged to have a legend like Ed Cozzi in the boat with me for one last time. For Ed to be impressed, tells you alot in how this boat has been set up. I could`nt have had it any other way. The best of everything is in there for you to maintain the legacy.

LOL...........

Albert won't have time to miss the Mig28 soon because its big brother, the Mig38, wants some attention as it prepares to kick some azz in November......................:ernaehrung004:

Cant wait bro, Amen!

Awesome photo guys! Once again... By the way, what's Vern doing in the back ground? That's one of our Cali guys! Dude, the race is that way!

Have I mentioned that you Miami Boys are REALLY bad influences? :D

Sean your Cali guy didnt make it the milling area I suppose. Bad influence... We know!!!!

Hey Albert,

Congrats on your sale!!! :D

What kind of monster will you move on to now?! There is only one to keep Jo happy and that must be the black F2...:rolleyes:

Hi Tomas, I will be devoting all my time to the Cigarette.

Albert, good luck with all your ventures and be careful on the course.

Thank you Tom, dont hesitate to call me for any help.:ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

Albert, great boat & congrats on the quick sale!!

Dan, post some pics once you've trailered it home.

Congrats!

Last pics of the Mig and its motor, Dan will follow up with all of you when he comes and gets the Mig next week.

Final pics for my Mig28 and its 100 mph motor, I`ll never forget the Mig28..

You did a great job with that boat Albert.

I'll see you in KW in Nov!!!

Thanks again for all your input on my boat.

Kirk

Damn dude... :(

Oh my.... where are the kleenex

I really don't want to get too involved but my single 525 has only hit around 71.0 with my 24 bravo and 1/4 tank. Dave Santee has a 525 single and has played with the chip and can't get more than 72. With my 26 labbed, from hall's I was about 70.5 but I may have had more fuel than when I had the 24 pitch. I'm really not the best guy to get the top speed, but I didn't buy a Pantera for the speed..the ride is far better than any 28 out there. Ideally a 600 SCI would be the best stock power. Actually a 700SCI with NXT drive would blow the competition away. Seriously, it's all about your pocket book.

The boat is what it's all about. Of course, you could always follow B-stubb and throw in a 900hp single and run around 95+.

I forgot these yesterday, nothing like a Pantera built tough like a rock.

Look how clean the header hole is and the Mig28 logo on the hatch.

Miami Boys Mig28 over and out.....

I can just see you "throttling" the mighty 20HP Perkins diesel, when the wind dies down!
:D:D:D

Dan is the proud new owner of the Mig28. She left today to its new home in Pensacola Florida. Beware gulf coast she packs a heavy punch.

I know the feeling, here is my 24 on it's way to Dude, Nick, and finally Bountyhunter , Enjoy the rides boys I know you will. I was very moved by Barbs interest in seeing my 28 that day also. What a great family to deal with.

congrats to the new owner once again.
Albert, I bet it gave you a weird feeling in your tummy to see it leave knowing it won't be comming back

Tom, it did. It was a bit painfull. I know it is going to a good home.

Congrats to Albert selling the boat. And A BIGGER CONGRATS to Dan who will have a PAPA-offshore ride.

GOOD LUCK! Keep us updated.

Yesterday I had some pics of my prev 3man 28 Pantera Race. New owner Pelle just had his new 540/600hp lined in to the boat.

My new ride, 28 Arrow (a cousin to Pantera) 572SC-EFI/875hp

(I know, very bad trim.... . Last sat.)

Happy daze
Mange

Hey Mange sweet looking boat you got there. She looks sharp nice and leveled when you go air.

And I love the boat, I watched it change hands through all you guys, and glad I could finally snag it after it's cross country tour.

Dan, good luck with the Mig, it's a great looking boat.

hi Mange, nice video. Any more pictures of Arrow, and im guessing its an older cousin to Pantera? I see its also a 28 and just curious as to whats the difference between the two, and why you picked the Arrow. Thanks and Happy Boating, Himes

Mange- looked good.
How fast was the drive by?:D

Got home w/ the Mig in time to watch the second half of the AL / FSU game. Can't wait to wake up in the AM to play w/ the new toy!

Albert met me at Pantera and Jo took some time out of his schedule to show me around the factory. They had at least one of each model in production and a sweet little 24 just about rigged out. There's nothing like the the smell of resin and a good cigar (Pepe's). It sounds like there will be some great new products coming out of Pantera soon. :cool: The hospitality was just what I needed after a long drive and Linda hooked me up w/ a couple shirts on the way out.

After a quick drive to Albert's we crawled around the Mig a bit and I found it to be just as expected (very nice). We traded paper and Albert gave me a hand hooking up the rig for the ride home. Thanks for the smooth transaction Albert and I'll take good care of her!

The ride home was smooth and luckly I missed this guy flipping a U-haul.

Dan

Keep us posted on the project DAn.
that U-haul most of been over trimmed:hitfan::D

Here's a shot at the house and another of the 22' Donzi looking a little smaller.

Dan

congradulations, on the new boat. :ernaehrung004:Himes

Congratulations on the purchase....hope you enjoy her as much as Albert and I did. You have a special boat there.
