Re: UK pantera 28
 

A 28 needs at least 500 hp.
Bravo 1 will work.
good luck finding those in your price range.
You can get a new 500hp w/ exhaust for around 13-15k, from a reputalbe marine builer.
Drive for 3k.

Are you looking for Twin's Or converting the boat to a single?

Re: UK pantera 28
 

Mr Austin,

You have any pics of the 28 Pantera??
Like the Pantera-guys here says, You need +500hps in that hull. I have a 28 Arrow (came out of a 27 Magnum) I'll give the hull round 680-720hp on a 572"...
Doubble the budget.....

Re: UK pantera 28

Re: UK pantera 28
 

I have a fresh 500 hp carbuerated motor sitting -
