Has to still be floating. Not neccessarily the fastest but obviously that has ALOT to do with it.
I am looking for ideas for my update and I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread about the baddest 28 single so I could get some ideas.
Also, the Pantera section is dead right now.......we need to breathe some life into it!!

11-03-2009 08:53 PMDERANGED was 28ft MAGNUM rerigged in2000 with a sealed hp 500 on a stellings box with imco sc drive,, ran the 2001 APBA season.. I wanted to run f-1 but was told i was making a wrong decission so they (john) put me in p-5,, i said i don.t think you want me there,, he insisted he new what he was doing! so goes history won 7 races out of 9 ,, f-1 started about 30 or 40 seconds before p-4 and 5 i usually passed all the f-1s and ran up to the p-3 and 2s so a 1968 Magnum became the 2001 national champion.

11-03-2009 10:41 PMAlbert's Mig 28 comes to mind. I think he was close to 1000hp and ran into the triple digits a couple of times. I know "detuned" it was 850hp and ran 95mph!

11-04-2009 02:24 AMI've been in the Mig 28... 95 across Biscayne Bay with a handful of throttle left... No question in my mind.
As they say, the king is dead. Long live the king.

11-04-2009 02:29 AMI've never seen Brian Stubbefields boat run, but if the stories are true, that boat would be a strong contender for #2.
I'm personally partial to Tomas' boat though. And obviously Adam, you're boat is a bad MoFo, as well. But depends on if we're just going on looks or performance. Yours is my favorite on looks.

11-04-2009 02:51 AMWow, I'm in almost exact agreement with Sean.
Adam, yours is the baddest looking one out there - just looks sinister.
From everything I've read about the Mig, and the firsthand reports, I'm thinking she was/is one badazz machine.
The pictures of Tomas launching in the snow - that's just freaking priceless."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

11-04-2009 10:02 AMGeorge did you notice you are posting Magnum info in a Pantera section?
It was nice back when when it was offshore and not just drag races.

11-04-2009 10:27 AMdoes anyone know what kind of setup the Mig was running?
Also interested in Brian's setup on the one with the yellow interior.
I have been talking to Airpacker and we have a setup in mind. I would kind of like to unseat the king........if possible....

It also seems most the Pantera/Mag guys have a strong appreciation of both lines.
Both just gorgeous boats.

I don't suspect most others would be as welcome.
