The Mig? I've been in her at 90 +.... I've heard over 100. Who else?

I think I got my facts backwards when we were talking the other day (but Jo can set us straight)... I think the Mig was the 3rd lightest 28 ever and Wallin's or Mange's boat was the lightest. Either way, the Mig seemed like a potato chip to me. I felt like I was standing up in a canoe when I got in it.

Wallin, we're expecting big things from your new motor, brother! :D

i believe b-stubbs has a fast one. Maybe the fastest full pleaure.

Pretty sure he's been well into the 90's and may have even hit triple digits as well.

I think Brian's has to be the fastest pleasure, but I don't think it was as quick as the Mig (less HP and more weight).

Hahaha I'm putting in a new piston today:ack2::blush5:.

The intercooler wasn't getting enough water because of the damn pickup and it might have wanted a bit more fuel as well.

The new pickup will be ready to mount on friday, the motor is hopefully ready today.

I need another prop though. I had 24% slip with this labbed Bravo 31 at 5950rpm and 89mph (and obviously knocking like hell, judging by the look of the piston...:willy_nilly:). It has way to much stern lift or way to little bow lift, it chine walked like crazy above 80mph.

I will probably give the prop a bit more cup to help lift the bow and keeping the rpms below 6000.

My goal is 95mph, so we'll see...

Don't they make a bow lifting Maximus? Sounds like you need more blades in the water with that slip number! :)

I had 11% with a std Bravo 28 at WOT so I just need to get it right with a faster prop. It's hard enough to find 4 blade props with the correct pitch here in Sweden...:ack2:

I really don't know for the moment, I'll try to get my hands on a std Bravo 30 to see where it gets me and get me a baseline.

I'll get back to you Tim! Thanks!

I was thinking a bit more about this... there are a number of twin engine race boats around. Opa's boat has 500s I'd heard which means it's putting two props and a thousand HP down (give or take)... The twin motored race boats have to be faster... I'd think.

Does anyone know any of those guys? How do we get them to come play with us on the board?

not always, weight and rpm is a big factor......

Funny i was thinking about Sonny's twin 525 boat.
He was running mid 90s i think.
Not sure if he ever got her really opened up.

How about the 900hp 3a boat.
What did jo say he had that running?

28' Single 880 HP 3A Speedmaster ran right at 95 MPH on GPS first time in the water back in 2000. I drove the Supercharger System 38' back in 1995 at 112 MPH at Lake X.

Fastest from 60-90 MPH this 28' triple 2.5 would be in the top 3.I raced this one in 1994. Incredible acceleration!!

93.7 MPH from the F2 35' with an additional 800 pounds on board to make weight.

JO, thanks for jumping in here! So... Supercharger Systems is the fastest? Dang, and that poor old girl gets no respect!

Keep up the good work bud! :sifone:

Hey LB320, I know you've been looking for a trip/ob race Pantera for a while. Did you look at "Little Fish"? Or was that off the list due to the repaint and the questionable power?

I miss my boat, could be the fastest/baddest 28 Pantera to date. I do not recall anyone reaching speeds over 100. The Mig28 reached 102 in the Miami intercoastal water way in 2007. Dont try this at home it is very dangerous, I`m a trained stupid pro/racer. Dude Sweat was one of the few that enjoyed a ride in Mig28. He only saw 94 mph that day. He had a blast though !:03:

Hey Albert! Welcome to Serious Offshore!


Thank you Sean ! Did you buy the Cat yet ?:)

Dude! Sweet!
05-27-2009, 05:57 PM
Well, I bought a cat... and two hulls no less. But no, I ended up doing a deal with Duunoit and we swapped my pleasure 28 for his 24 and his 28 race. I was really close to pulling the trigger on that Conquest cat, but then this came up and it felt like the right decision. I'm really happy I went this way... Glad to say in the family. And I'll keep my eye on the Conquest as well.

Dude! Sweet!
05-27-2009, 06:04 PM
OK so as it stands now...

1. Supercharger Systems (38) 112mph
2. Plum Loco (24) 103.6mph
3. Mig28 (28) 102mph.

Is that about right?

I was really close to pulling the trigger on that Conquest cat and someone else was probably really close to pulling another trigger...

I would have traded the Mig for your boat back then. I wanted a pleasure boat. Glad things worked out for the two of you.

I know. Timing wasn't right. I really wanted to, but couldn't, at that point, sell the old lady on a race boat...
