I cant say for sure but he pulled the engines (1600 HP) out of the MTI.

What is the fastest a 28 has gone with twins? My friend owns the worlds fastest V-Hull Fountain just down the street. I may have to put some hurt on his boat. :grinser010:

Fastest I have been in a stock power twin 28 was 93 gps HARD on the limiters. I think that with a little more prop and possibly some 1" short sportmasters the 100+ would be easily reachable. I am sure Jo can comment on one that was much faster with some bigger power than stockers. What size fountain would be close to a 28 Pantera? The 27 looks closer to the length to my old 24.

This Fountain. aka Cat Killer

Plan B.... tie up next to him with no bumpers, a Pantera always puts out more damage than it takes.....That will put some hurt on his boat ha ha.
I have to admit that i like the way they did that canopy on that Fountain tho.

"Stock" power? What kind of stock power are we talking about? Merc Blues?

neat boat. is the lil' eliminator done? video?

I think the Pantera would have to run 172 mph to beat that record holder at 171.

The Eliminator "Cobra" was sold yesterday and on it's way to Idaho. It was a beatiful boat after new paint, interior and fresh power. Complete makeover. I expect the Pantera will be nice as well.

I said he was pulling the power out of his MTI...far from Blue Motors!

I think Keytime was asking Ironman what motors the boat he rode in had.

And yes, they were twin 525s if I remember right. He is/was a member here and there was a long thread on the build.
