Steve,
We have a 34 in the shop being rigged with 525's. Should do in the mid to upper 90's. Come check it out if you want.

Great to hear your coming Steve!!!

My best boating pal and I are both upping the anti this year.
He has a 97 29' Fountain that we are installing a 20hour old rebuilt 525SC.
I am rebuilding his old 502MPI for my 24 Super.
Hopefully I'll be moving up to the vary fast category.
Should be a great summer...

Now if the ice on the River would just melt...

I would love to Rick, but don't know where it is. I drive by the place down the road from Tankilff Marine, but only saw John there once, two years ago. I should have listened to him more at the time.... But I am thinking for what to do for next year...

ZZ, you and I have talked about the 28 Pantera and 28 Cig before... Old School and Heavy! They need lots of power to push them.
Fullthrottle525 here in CT just got his new 28' Pantera with a 525Merc. I think she runs in the low 70s... Absolutely gorgeous boat, but 8-10mph slower than a 30' Super.

I saw that before also. That's why I'm on this forum instead of Pantera's. Love the boat though.
