I don't no that boat, Have fun with your boat , it will handle 4 to 6 footer's nicely "most the time in the air"

chop is nothing for a 28 , if you need any advise on handling just say the word and im sure a bunch of us that have owned or own a pantera will chime in

It handles the choppy water very well. After break-in process, I got it to about 70ish -GPS is probably about mid-high 60's. I am surprised at how stable it is for the boats size. If anyone has any info on the boat, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!

How cool is that? 18 years down the track and OSO finds the original owner!
Very nice looking boat. Enjoy.

Hi Squaze, It is very clean and seems very well taken care of (thank you!). Let me know if you have any free time over the next couple days as I would love to learn the full history of this 28. Congrats on trading up to a 36.

Also, is this the boat that was photographed in powerboat magazine off of kitty hawk, Florida keys?
