I have my cam-card handy if you want to compare.
Its a fairly aggressive set-up. (I think)
The x-dimension has been raised and I think that contributes to the 80 plus speeds.

I had 575hp on my old set up with a TRS buried so deep I would leave skeg marks on flounders . I did 85 gps then I put my tabs back on and dropped to 81 .

That makes me want to cut my tabs in half
They do retract up and out of the way though which is pretty cool. And on a busy Lake Norman weekend just cruising around, the 30" tabs almost makes it a Pantera 26!

What kind of power is in that yellow beast now?

No more yellow , and don't tell anyone but it has a plastic replica motor in it rite now . My OCD got the best of me and someone else made a comment about them having the nicest 24 and well, I'm a little competitive so I'm making sure the bar is set so high that no one will ever touch the look or the speed of my Pantera .
I'll bring it to LKN in the spring and spend a weekend with you and steve

Wow, are you going all "Lip-Ship 20' Cigarette" on us???
I bet it will be awesome regardless.
Can't wait to see the finished boat!

Mine needs attention in several places but like I've said before . . . I am performance boating on a budget!!!

Are you talking about a particular boat or the whole Lip Ship over the top craze ?

Wanna trade for a nice set of 280s?

no limits

My x is real high also, but running a trs (it was raised years ago). Supposedly the guy really experimented w/ this boat, just haven't had the time to really play with it. My prop is pretty odd also...running a LH sport cleaver 23P. It takes alot to break over on plane, but when it does, it comes alive. I don't have any idea about my internals. Hoping to have a rebuild within a year.

Every 20' Cigarette that I have seen them restore, 3 or so,
looks like a brand new boat fresh from the factory.
They can make a mid 80's boat look like 2012. Awesome.

Are the 280's 28" ??? If they are probably not for a 2" difference.

But who knows? Can you post some pics?
