[B]Mike I believe lots of us gave dates and speeds almost a year ago. I think I guessed early September delivery September (4th) and speed was 72mph (GPS) Full load and gas.

You actually changed to 72 mph and
never said September!!! Just the facts.

aren't you sad??
now that it's sold

Yes and no, what's the song say, every new beginning comes with some other beginning end??

Who knows what is instore.....

How can he be sad that she's gone??????

He barely got a chance to even know her

Yea...but it was great while it lasted

I received Mikes first deposit on 2/20/02 and tested it for the first time on 8/24/02.It took exactly 6 months to build.There was a few added options that were not ordered from the get go: like the custom American flag paint work which took approximately 2-3 weeks extra time ,optional sink and cooler option in the cabin,and custom embroidery on the sunpad.These are custom things that take time to do.

The best speed I saw here in salt water in flat conditions with 2 people and a half a tank gas was 77-78 mph on GPS.I was turning only 5150 RPM with a 28' labbed 4 blade prop so I feel there was a bit more room for improvement.


I believe Mike is looking to step up to a larger size boat now.I am sure he will put his reason on selling this awesome 28'.

The picture I attached was taken by me on 8/25/02 at Elliott Key in Biscayne Bay.

Joe is a great guy the Boats do handle the rough, every weekend in the gulf we 4 ft or better so rough is good however numbers ??? my 28 has a real dyno sheet of 780 I see 83-84 so far ,like to see more ,Glen /Danger kity he goes fast cause he can drive the hell out of it Im trying to folow in his footsteps my pasengers cant hardly handel it and my numbers are with gas and 2 or more people !!

I personally do not think you have to drive the hell out of a boat or car, but just the opposite , you have to drive it w/ finnesse and know where the settings for optimun speeds are, and most important its limits! You will find difference in fresh water to salt water, humidity, weight of the boat, fuel,etc, etc. B-Stubb's boat I believe is a 94/95 which is heavier than dangerkittys2002. I do not think Dangerkittys has anything to gain by exagerating speeds. Also different Dynos will read different. If you have anymore doubt on Jo's numbers, please ask Pamteraman 28 who owns our F-1 black boat: How many hp. to push 4700 pounds=speed or contact pantera 28 for his hp to weight=speed, if you still have doubts, I am sure Jo will be thrilled to borrow and demo pantera28's boat to you. Pepe @ Pantera

Oh, I forgot to ask you what do you mean by a real dyno sheet??? I think Innovations dyno sheet of 640hp is pretty real!!! To me @ least.
