What is the baddest single 28 ever built?

[Trim'd Up]

Spent a long time working in bars, my people still got my back... Never be disrespectful of me in front of a waitress. You know what Warren Zevon said...

"I'll sleep when I'm dead"?

Doesn't really relate...

It never dawned on me that the statements were connected

You mentioned the Easter Egg thing, so, tell me Rick, do you dip into a vinegar/water and Dye solution??

Just busting your stones bud.

Actually,

I never thought about it as Easter Egg Purple, but last year in Miami, I showed a pic of it to Dina(greeneyedboatbabe), and she said "is that Easter egg Purple" just kinda stuck

I think you can't change the color.
The boat is already known for that, and too identifiable.
Anyone that is going to shy away from a Pantera based on color doesn't understand a Pantera.

Yeah, I'm changing the color of mine, but, the red didn't shy me away from getting a killer classic boat.

No one ever mentions this one.

Adam, I think that's a good call. There's only one boat like yours and if you sell it, you'll regret it.

You've really got to decide what you want to do with the boat... There's a strong arguement that you should just drop in a Blue 525 or 600 and run the wheels off it. Turn key enjoyment. But there's an equally strong arguement for puttling a six on the back with a 1,700 hp 14-71 blown 632 that behaves like a caged wolverine hopped up on chyrstal meth!

Hahahhahahahaha

Yeah baby. Never tried meth....yet!

[ar15meister]

I met Adam tonight....good person....I chastised him for taking off the eyes....we all agreed that Sean was a weenie.....then the waitress threw a drink in my face..

I'm selling the pantera movin to kw and putting a chief motor in my scooter and I'm going to terrorize this place.

If only the money wasn't all the same phucking colour.

[Bobcat]

I got a hundred bucks that say's fountain will rebound before Adam gets a tan

And that 6blade prop on that pic is the one Albert had on the mig, right?

not sure about that i do know Mike at Halls did the prop he has tried many and always goes back to Mike

[mikes280]

I don't think it's a short lower, just a notched transom so it naturally sits high.

you are right when he went to the stand off he went back to a standered but the x is high on the boat

I came very close to buying that one a while back. I believe "offshore Steve" sold that to his buddy who was storing it when I looked at it. Have never seen it come up for sale so I guess he still has it in Atlanta? It was a very cool boat with the 6 pack.

I've seen that picture of the boat, but I know zero about it otherwise. Greg what's the story on that one?

[stormrider]

For some reason i thought Fred Cecil from the old Trick Marine had it.
Troy Dennis engine.

Dude, that was a nice boat that had a 572 with around 700hp. Dry exhaust.
I had heard that it ran around 80 but never rode in it. The new owner posted once speeds around 74 if I remember correctly. Then the motor blew up and the story ends here. I have not seen it out in years but I have not been out much myself. I know both Steve and his friend had 28 Skaters. Very cool boat and was the first Pantera I was interested in. Light race hatch on it. I'll bet Jo knows the whole story. I'll have a look for that post.

Stormrider you are correct about Fred Cecil and Troy Dennis building that engine.

[Wylie-Rat]

maybe this one with a 675 ke for power

Thanks Mike! Pantera has made lots of sweet 28's - This is what made me want to purchase the 2005 Pantera 28 with a KE Blower Motor - It was the Engine Rigging that Pantera did...

[JO - PANTERABOAT]

Thanks Ernie.

Alex sent me these pictures today of his Pantera 28' Single with custom 6 man bolster in Germany.

Pretty Boat !!

[Dude! Sweet!]

Good ol' Sonic Boom... She's looking good. Bummed that it went to europe, but hey at least its being enjoyed by someone. How did Boom stack up in terms of speed and performance?

Pretty sure that is all correct. Fred had the boat for a couple years around 2001-2002 and had the engine built. I heard that whoever bought it wanted to go faster than 85mph and bumped the HP up some more.
