say between a 27 Kryptonite with a 500 efi (supposedly runs 81 on gps) or a 28 pantera w a single 540 approx 625hp that will possibly be used as a bay bomber when not racing. would race any jersey, ny, and MD race and the championship

i also spoke with the owner of the Great Adventure Sutphen but i think because its a 31 footer it would have to be class 4 in which at 73 mph its not a contender

well seeing one is a 27 and the other is a 28 that moves you out of class 6 (26ft limit)

Both are class 5 because of length. Kryptonites run real well.

Rich 611

very true

I dont see whay you couldnt run 5. There are a bunch of 30ft Superboats (Y2K is 32ft overall) and the Sutphen is 30' 9". The only problem I would see is having the twin motors.

Measure the boat Bernie, it probably shrank a bit over the years.

a 30 ocean pacer is actually 29.5 at least in 81...ask ritchie

I like them both but If I had to do it over again, I would put my dough on the Krypto. May be tough to compete with stock HP500. Pantera is a great boat. But will not be a contender in class 5 w/ 625 HP these days. If your lucky top speed will be 80 mph. Not to mention possible engine problems which always seem to surface. It will do well in big water though.

30Y2K measures 29'7" APBA rules nose to Transom
