Well boys......I think we made a believer out of hp500efi on how the 28 handles. A strong east wind was blowing up some easy 4 footers on Lake Pepin on the Mississippi River. Playing with the throttles in following seas at 70 mph got us some nice air a few times. Heading back it was a reassuring thump, thump, thump on the hull as it just slaughtered the chop and wanted more.

This is one hell of a fun boat

Bruce,

The Pantera is all of what everyone says and THEN some . I was grinning from ear to ear as we just demolished the waves on Pepin. One of the best boat rides this guy has ever had.

Now all I need to do is start the negotiating....might be another Pantera out on the river hehehehe

Jeff

P.S. tell Jon to get those digital photos to me. Most of the ride pictures I took with my 35mm so I will get them to you guys as soon as they are developed.

So your thinking of trading in the PQ for a 28 Pantera? Cool!
