Default 28 Pantera info

I am currently boat shopping and one of the boats i have interest in is the 28 pantera. are there any things to look for on these boats, how is the ride and build quality, is there any difference/advantage of twins or single, is the cabin useable space wise, any years better/different than others? thanks for any input, also has anyone seen or have any info on the boat for sale in ct with the 525?

I had a 1996 28 with a single 525SC. Ride quality, rigger and build quality was all excellent. It was great boat and I had it about 5 years. They are wave crushers. The cabin is pretty good sized and definately has useable space. I only sold it because I wanted to go bigger and wanted more freeboard in the cockpit for my kids.

Great boats and wonderful family that builds them. Second to none in rough water, solid and great lines!
