Hey Joe, I knew the superV lites were running a vortec 496 HP3 I didn't know it was a 502 lower? I like the 500efi but for a couple grand more I can get twin 6.2 320hp and for a couple grand more than that I can get twin 496mags, I have to set my budget and get the best I can within that concidering maintaining, gas, and insurance. If I had the $$$$ I'd buy your boat.
We have 2 boys ages 5 & 3 so top speed is not that important, we also are starting baseball soccer etc... so boat time will be limited.
See ya in the Keys!

HebertNeccesity,
Same thing here ..I have 2 kids and top speed is not my main issue right now.
Something you might want to consider if you want to go with twins is running twin 350MAG's with Bravo 1's they are rated at 300 HP, only 20hp less than the 6.2 but a couple of grand less in price! I personally think that dollar for dollar it's one of the best buys out there in power.

HerbertNecessary I have been thinking about the layout you will have it sounds perfect. If you decide to sell in 5 years call me.

Pantera Shop...
I still haven't kicked in the $25 to view pics..
For those of you that really like a custom boat.. Jo is building a 28 for a customer that is All Yellow. Yes All Yellow. This boat will be rigged with 525SCs.. Two, not one. Take a look at this pic of my boat in their shop, the yellow boat is directly behind it..
The floor thing- Jo cuts pockets in the floor for you to stand in. They drop you about 3-4 inches in the boat. It's a big difference and very cool. He's also started carving some new air ducts into the sides under the windscreen.
I'm sure Jo will see this post and throw up some pics of the yelllow boat.
I was going to order a new boat with a single 496HO. Then I thought about 6.2s because I want to run to the islands. Then I saw my 28 with 502 mags and that was all she wrote. I'd really recommend twins. The single 425hp might bee too lazy when you put 100 gallons in, and 4 hot chicks.
Be sure to upgrade the drive if you go with a single motor. The boat is right on the boarder for one drive. I have a friend who snaps the tower out of his Bravo at least once a season.. Go XR or XZ.
As far as a Pantera owners meeting.. That would be very cool. I just hope nobody gets hurt, or breaks anything expensive. I'm ready when you guys are.
