Again Sunsation seems like a great boat and the waters in the great lakes are definetly Serious..
Rick stay focused and before you know it you will have your own Pantera.
You never know ......"Run Wut U Brung" could become a reality.
Albert, Tim we need to get together

Re: Power and Speeds in the 28 single??
Somehow this is turning into Pantera vs Sunsation. Chris had you not posted those pictures I would have deleted this thread and started over...thanks for the pictures!!!
I ran up Lake Michigan two weeks ago up to the APBA Races in Milwaukee with my friend in his 24 Sunsation Agressor and me in my 24 Pantera. I kept going further out seeking rougher water, he chose to run the shoreline. True this could be drivers preference. However, on the return trip (after meeting Jo and Pepe!!) he broke a coupler. I towed him several miles and he hopped in my boat. I headed out to rougher water and he couldn't get over what a difference in ride. He told me that he could fell an unbelievable difference between the boats and how solid and strong the Pantera felt. He now understood what I had been trying to tell him this past year about these boats and understood why I was going for the rough water.
It does not mean that Sunsation is bad, its just the balsa layup and lighter boat = rougher ride. Panteras are unbelievable in the rough!! I can't wait to get the 28 out there.
Now, can we keep this thread on track, unless Chris wants to post more on Anna, as I certainly have no problem with that. Inappropriate pictures can be sent directly to [email protected]

Hey Guys:
Hope you don't mind a greenhorn chiming in....
I was at Cigarette today with my cousin Frank. He owns a Cigarette and took the ride down from Connecticut with me to help tow Full Throttle home and we spoke with Bud Lorow. I told him I was picking up my Pantera tomorrow and he had nothing but fabulous comments on the handling of a Pantera. He explained an awful lot to me on their characteristics, driving with steps and without, and their placement. Gave me an idea of top speed with a 525EFI and I should be around what Pepe stated...low 70's. That's just fine for me. He said I should be very very happy with the 525EFI and Pantera. That the 28 is one awesome boat.
I can't wait. I stopped by the Pantera factory for a few minutes to say 'Hello' and Pepe told me we should be ready to go tomorrow. My boat just looks beautiful and I know that my smile will be from ear to ear.
I just hope the ride home isn't too wet.

Re: Power and Speeds in the 28 single??
When I first put my boat together, it had a 468/525hp and ran right around 70@ 5400. Then I went with the 540/650hp and it ran 77-79 @ 5900. Right now Im running a tired 510/600. with a new XR, and we're runnin around 75 turning a 26 B1 at 5900. We lost about 2-3 mph going from XZ to XR. In race conditions, we only get about 5000rpms and 65-70mph. Thats in BIG water!!!!!
