Anyone know anyone In mi with a 28 pantera?
There's a member from Michigan that uses the screen name "OPA" (if I remember right) that has a 28 with twin HP500s and a 3 man bolster.

Actually I'm impressed at how much it takes to get air under my 24 so a 28 would take a lot more. I love it when I actually have to throttle the boat, but you have to have the right passengers!

I don't mess with that chit. Pay the bills and turn the key, if it breaks - I'll have someone to yell at.

Right now I'm leaning towards some new 496HO's, but I've got two years to think about it. Looking for suggestions

Get stock power........with no upgrades.

Also don't make the same mistake of thinking just because you buy a boat from an OSO member that its going to be in good shape - I did and I got 10 hours before she gave.
Sorry andy, but quit your whining, you got a great deal.
OK, not so nice, but you did not pay alot for your boat.
If it had new 496s it would have been another story.
That's why you'd have to pay up for that "new" 28 up in WI. I bet that boat can be bought for 70ish.

Negative ghostrider, if I was whining I'd be at the top of the general discussion forum recruiting a lynch mob to handle my own dirty business

Somebody should put a restraining order out on you.You need to be kept at least 30 feet from any big block that goes bumpty bump

I tried to buy that boat .

Mel Riggs wont sell it. He wont even say a price for it.

Very Bizarre.

If he comes around though.....that is the one to get IMO.
