Hey guys how fast is a 28' Pantera with a single 496 Mag HO? Also what RPM and speed would it cruise at? There was a nice all white one with that power for sale years ago, also how much does a 28' weigh with a single big block.
Thanks

not very fast i would guess high 50's low 60's

28AT will pull 65-ish with a 496HO. I'd expect a 28 Pantera straight bottom to be a tick or two faster since it not as tall and ought to be a bit lighter.

My 28 AT is 2 mph faster than a 28 pantera with the same power. 28 pantera with a 525 runs 71 mph. I bet your looking at 62-63 mph with a 496 ho. I turn a lab bed 26p so you're probably looking at a 23-24 p

my buddies 03 28 with a 525 didnt run anywhere near 71 mph. more like low-mid 60's. a million dollars later it hits the C-note now lol

Not to hijack but what about with twin 496's?

I've been told low to mid 70s.

Last run of the sessen with 3/4 of a tank 2people on board Gaffrig liqid filled gauge showed 80-81 Mph sea had about a 1 foot chopp to it ,I was running 65mph about a year ago and had a guy onboard who had a hand held GPS and both read the same at 65mph this is a twin 496Ho spinning Bravo 28.. Viperchad on here had the same boat as myself and he ran 83 mph .

My 99 with twin 502 mags ran about 76.

Tim you need to get you another Pantera.
