Its an interesting thought. Im a bit longer than most 27' s<28.8> sO I can play in the 28 league.
To put the 2750 in the mix brings in the "other coast". Sounds like a nasty fight to get into!
I had heard of a 2750 sighting out in the east but nothing confirmed.....

Greetings Bouy!
I usually do the "glamis thing" till about March.
I think I get one free insurance layup release though.
Ive got 2 quads and a dirt bike and can probably scrounge up another banshee.
Next trip is scheduled first week of Feb - any of you guys Game?
This is From New Years.
The car is the Camires (owners of LaveyCraft) Mazda 13B Turbo
Im anxious to see what the Pantera offshore experience is all about.
These rigs (and to fair the AT's do as well) have a good rep.

I've never been out to Glamis but I'd love to go some time. Right now we're cranking to get the race boat ready for March and get our skiier in the water so we can start doing a weekly practice for Catalina. No rest for the stupid (me), I guess...

Dude -
Ive spent some time looking at the AT, and the Pantera and the Lavey is actually an interesting choice to compare against.
Lots of subjective, and objective things to look at.
Heres the data posted (cut and paste) right from each manufacturers site.
Pantera 28
Centerline Length 28 ft.
Beam Maximum 8 ft.
Net Weight Approx. 5,250 lbs.
Draft to Keel 22 inches
Fuel Capacity 140 gallons
(I know the New Pantera 28 Joe shows has a stepped hull as well.)
AT 28 savage
loa...........27.10.
beam..........8.2.
weight......4800, dry
fuel capacity......100 gal.
Hull design: 24 degree Deep-Vee Offshore
LaveyCraft 2750
Hull Design/Ventilated Double Step
Overall / Centerline Length 28' 6"
Beam 8' 6"
Deadrise 24 Degrees
Cockpit Depth 49”
Approximate Hull Weight w/ Single Engine 4500 LBS
Standard Fuel Capacity 100 Gallons
All three families seem to forge superb personal relationships with clients.
There are many design elements and compromises to consider between these boats.
Swim step - molded/ vs bolted
windscreen differences
cockpit details
molded in details/gunwale storage
interior -
Cabin space-
gel vs paint-
Many of these details come down to personal preference, but there are lots of cool things to like about all these rides.
If you are opening it up a bit more the Nordic Heat, and the advantage victory should be there.
Each of these offers interesting compromises, and unique design as well.

I had a 28 Nordic w/500efi, Nice boat for a lake and not all that fast. Great cabin.
Actually I was a dealer for them and we couldn't give'm away.
They don't belong anywhere near inthe same class as the A.T. or Pantera.
Dennis, whats the deal?

I found a few picts on this rig. Pretty nice.
Profile wise it looks a lot like my Lavey with a bit steeper windscreen and roughly the same low profile nose maybe a bit thicker - but thinner than AT, Pantera, Advantage , and Nordic -
The Advantage is probably the best weekender of the group (downside 22degree v) , with the AT next.
This couch space on the 2750 is ok, but the v birth is quite tight on it.
Its not as spacious a weekender as the other three.
As you say about the PP- its not a small boat- its actually quite a big "27"" simply put - there is a compromise in interior space to achieve its look.
Blue boat long shot is the power play, the closer one the Lavey. (Not mine, but a 2750)
The sunny is nice as well.

Cowisl, I love you PP also. If I had the money for a second boat yours would be at my dock. Good luck with the sale. Bob

I think with the era of easy home equity lines well behind us many manufactuerers are dusting off their molds and getting prepped the smaller 20-30ft boats.
Not only are they easier to buy, they are usually easier on everything else as well, and at 25ft -30 do offer real offshore capability.
I think magnums showing a lot of business sense.

that was why it was such a big 27! (mixing my 7 and 8's here)
(probably a side effect of living near the "soothing sounds" of my yamaha generator last night until the DPW guys could bring power back on line)
I was digging around trying to find powerplay 28 picts. Do have the link where I found that pict? Ive looked all over trying to find it.
Does the PP 28 have a belly tank or side tanks?
