Updated 28 home from Pantera
Rolled into Atlanta at 4am Saturday morning. Lots of rain heading North but light traffic. Cleaned it up in the morning, went for gas, and to the ramp.
I have some preliminary performance info but not concrete yet. Using year old fuel mixed with fresh and my speedo is 5 to 10 off. Anyway, with about 120 gallons of fuel and three people on board 4800rpm on a stock 26 Bravo 1. I would guess 68-70mph. I will get some lab work done to get the rpms up 300-400rpm. Should get low 70s easily maybe better with low fuel.
Very pleased with planing speed and acceleration.
Panteras work on this boat was exceptional. Again, I want to thank the Nunez family for this installation. In every aspect this boat left the factory in new condition. Any short comings in my previous rigging not done at Pantera were corrected.
The full hydraulic steering is definitely a big improvement and it works great.
I would highly reccommend the GGB Silencers I used also. It still sounds stout but not so overpoweringly loud. I can now talk to passengers at idle or on plane. At the end of the day, the sound does not wear you out.
I will pass any performance updates.

Re: Updated 28 home from Pantera
Looks great!! Keep us posted on your performance.
Could you take some better pictures of the sea strainer mounting location? Also, the engine mounts? I need to install these in my new 28 next week and want to see how the factory does it.
Thank you,
Kirk

. Can't wait to hear what kind of speeds you see with the 525....possibly for future reference

Pantera 572,
Your renovated ride looks great, not that it was anything to sneeze at prior! I'm interested in the GGb Silencers. Who supplied them, approx $$, & whats the max H.P. they're rated for?
Thanks
Michael

Re: Updated 28 home from Pantera
Thanks guys,
650 , I will try to get you some photos this weekend.
Express, The GGB exhaust is about $900. Rated from 650 to 1200 HP.
www.GGB.CA.( Graham) Probably one of my best additions to the boat.
