Atta boy!

Danger Kitty a pleasure boat 28' w/ a 650 hp motor by Innovation runs over 80 mph I wish he would chime in. Later, pepe.

Just one tidbit that I don't think was said..
The 28 Pantera is much bigger than most 28s... No molden in platform in that 28' here... It's more like 30 with the platform..
The boat has more wetted surface than boats like the Sunny 288 or a Fountain 29... Thus the Pantera has no trouble smoking either of them if the water is more than 2'...

Just to answer my own question... 28pantera:5250lbs / 28sunsation:4500lbs.

Tm, I would respectfully have to disagree with you regarding your " no trouble smoking them in 2's.. " comment.. I can run WFOT in 3 to 4's,,, and 496 h.o. to 496 h.o. is not even close,, 62 for the Pantera and 70-71 for the sunsation.. Yes, I agree the Sunsation is 288 with the swim platform.

I would have replied sooner but I temporarily went blind.

Ok I propose that we have a "Run Wut U Brung Run"
the course will start within Biscayne Bay (smooth water) and then we head out Bill Bags State Park and head east towards Fowley Rocks then head south towards
Ocean Reef Yacht Club then back in to the Bay thru Angelfish Creek and first one to the sandbar on Elliot Key drinks all day courtesy of the rest. ???

I have not ridden in a Pantera yet (although I think I mentioned somewhere how I've been dieing to for the past year and a half), but I have been in several Sunsations. Remember, they are built up in the Great Lakes, and those Lakes have a real tendency to get snotty. I think the run-wut-u brung might be pretty interesting. My guess is the Sunsations would surprise everyone at how fast they are in the rough water, but ultimately the Pantera would survive a continuous beating longer.

Angel,

I'd go along for the ride........

as long as there is an open seat in a PANTERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Sunsation is a very fine boat. later, pepe.
