We really shouldn't jinx him.

I don't know which is prettier, the motor or the boat.

Very nice!

Brian

THANK YOU BRIAN;)

HI GUYS JUST TO KEEP YOU POSTED I TOOK HER OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY FOR THREE HOURS AND SHE RAN LIKE A CHAMP.I RAN HER AT 4000 RPMS FOR MOST OF THE TIME UNTILL THE END SHE WAS CRUISING AT 72.2 MPH WITH A 32 FOUR BLADE NON LABBED.WHEN I WAS COMMING IN I PUNCH IT TO 5000RPM AND I SAW 91 MPH, I STILL HAD THROTTLE LEFT.AT 5500 RPM I SHOULD SEE 100:D

ONLY ME ON BOARD 3/4 TANK 93 OCTANE
AND THE GOOD THING THE KNOCK METER
DIDNT GO OFF, I HAVE SET AT #3.

Don't depend on the knock meter too much. Over the years I have tried 2 or 3 different kinds & the meter always said everthing was OK as I detonated the motor to death.

Sweet!!!!!!!

Albert congrats!!
Wildthing LMAO !!

Angel

I am available to drive or throttle for Fort Lauderdale race since we won't be racing the F1 if your looking for someone:cool:

Lauderdale race is Oct 3rd
I have and exta Jacket and helmut that may fit you

Has there ever been a 28 pantera that has seen 100 plus?

BJM
 

I WENT OUT TODAY TURNED 5800 WITH A 32 BRAVO
NON LABBED AND HIT 98 SHE WAS SCREAMING
AND THE BRAVO HELD UP. I HAVE SOME FINE TUNNING
STILL LEFT TO DO MY TIMMING IS NOT ACCURATE.

PIC 3

Beautiful
 

Great job Albert. Nothing like taking pride in your boat and doing the work yourself!!! You seem to have that thing dialed in well.

I could use some help. I'm running a 28P Bravo1 and can only spin it at 4650 RPM and 78 MPH GPS. Any ideas on what the problem could be? I should be able to spin a 28P faster than 4650. Here's more data:

Not trying to steal your limelight Albert, just would like to know what you've done to set up your awesome boat! I won't hit 100 but should be in the 90's with my set up right?

Albert kick ass!! 102 ...DAMMNNN! I was going to go out today and didn't...should have, would have loved to see that baby scream by. Let me know when you go out again.

Later Angel

Re: Beautiful
 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS,WHAT IS YOUR X-DIMINSION AND DO YOU HAVE A STAND OFF BOX.YOU
SHOULD BE SPINNING A 26 TO GET YOUR BOAT TO
MAX HP TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE AT.WITH THE POWER
YOU SAY YOU HAVE AND KNOWING THE WAY PANTERA
CUTS THE X HEIGHT IT SHOULD BE A 17 YOU SHOULD
BE SPINNING THE 28 WITH NO PROBLEM.DO YOU HAVE
ALOT OF STUFF HANGING DOWN IN THE TRANSOM THAT COULD BE SLOWING YOU DOWN.IF YOUR SPEEDO TUBE IS TO CLOSE TO V BERTH THAT CAN TAKE SOME GOOD WATER FROM YOUR PROP.ALSO DO YOU GET THE WATER FROM YOUR OUTDRIVE OR FROM A TRANSOM PICK UP TUBE,SOMETIMES PEOPLE DONT REALIZE SPECIALLY WITH STAINLESS MARINE PICK UP TUBES ANDINSTALL IT TO LOW AND THAT CAN MAKE YOU LOOSE A FEW MPH.
GOOD LUCK

ANGEL WHATS UP
 

IT IS RAINING TODAY THAT IS WHY I TOOK ADVANTAGE YESTERDAY,I COULDNT GO OUT TODAY ANYWAY I HAVE TO TAKE THE BOAT TO CHIEF ENGINES SO TOMMY CAN
SEE MY IGNITION SYSTEM IT TOOK A SH-T YESTERDAY COMMING IN.MAYBE NEXT WEEK YOU CAN RIDE WITH ME AFTER WE GET TO ELLIOT KEY.



ALBERT

Albert sorry to hear about the ignition system. Probably nothing big. Thanks for the invite on the beast. I will defintely have to take you up on it.

P.S.- Are congratulations in order yet? When is the baby due?

Angel

Sorry to hear about your ignition troubles, better to sort it out now before you take off into big water!!!

I don't have anything slowing my boat down, using water pick up in the drive and speedo pick up in the drive. just tabs and the drive on the back. I just don't understand why I'm not spinning that prop faster.

I'm looking to test and/or buy a 26P RH Bravo. If you know of anyone with one, let me know.

If you think of any other reasons that I'm not running as fast please advise.

Good luck with the ignition.

Kirk

REGARDS, ALBERT

BRUCE CHECK YOUR PM

Pantera 28 do you have a notched transom mine does and working on the x /yes Ive talked to joe

Hi Brian,

Alberts 28' does have a notch transom on it.I set the drive on that 28' at 20 1/2.That 28' has a completely different set up than yours.It is much lighter due to no cabin,no cockpit liner,lighter lamination,and you run the boat further back in the cockpit with the race dash insert we would use back then.

Alberts 28' weighed 4,650 pounds race ready for A-class in 1995 with a single big block.Your 28' will weigh approximately 5,400 pounds.

Regards,

JO

Al, Al, Al-
