It can be done. The rear bulkhead would need to re-glassed forward but we do this type of modification when we do outboards on the 28' model and go with the extended cockpit option.There still would a good size cockpit area in the 28' model.

It would be an awesome set up.

:evilb:What you thinkin' Angel:evilb:

Probably be kinda tight in a short stagger, and balance may be off in a full??

Any official estimate(s) barring the existence of real data?

I remember they built a twin 525 28 with the old hull and I THOUGHT it ran right around 90. And I THINK the new hull adds 10% more speed.

Key words being thought and think. LOL

I still think a set of 500hp aluminum small blocks would be a killer set-up.

My baby aka "Miss P" will be a single BBC and hopefully done before November..or December.

But never know what the future holds...:evilb:
I'm thinking an SE 24 3man with twin LS small blocks full stagger with saddle tanks moved back to offset balance....hmmm...a man can dream ya know.

Killer Bee had twin 525s, and iirc, it did run over 90.

Angel, you know the where abouts of your old 28?
It's got some HOT sbc's in it, right?

Have never seen it again...but I heard the new owner replaced the motors with some Jasper rebuilds:eek:
Hope it's not true...those motors were sweet and were built super nice.
Twin LS sbc is the way to go for anyone considering twins...BBC power and lightweight!:evilb:

We did build a Pantera 28' ( non stepped ) with twin 525 EFI's that I personally ran right at 93-94 MPH on GPS.

With twin Mercury 500 EFI's there was 3 of them built and they would all run between 89-92 MPH.

Now with the newer T.S. bottom the 28' SR are approximately 10 % faster .

Joe did you see my link to the 400 hp 383s any idea on speed with a 28sr with them.
