28 Active Thunder vs 28 Pantera vs ???

[Dude! Sweet!]

From my experience a better choice, but I'm curious as to the group view.

Is the AT's windscreen molded or bolted?

Love the over the transom look. I'm not a big swimstep guy. I actually took the one off my current 28, sold it and filled the holes.

Im with you on the look, and in running in the ocean the last thing I used the swimstep for was a pad for my Honda generator so I could run the AC all night.

However....I go to Havasu, the river , Mead and Powell.
When I'm out there I and whoever is with me just have to get into the water especially when its like 110 degrees.

Without some kind of step/ladder deal its just a real pain in the Azz.

but- that's me and my crowds deal- certainly not everyone's.

They have a lexan screen bolted at the top of the fairing. this is my old one. Can't see it real good but its about 3"s tall and clear.

No "Stabin" Cabin?

I suppose you could navigate the "skin boat to tuna town" from the backseat, but then everybody would get to see.

Might intimidate a potential 4 way.....

[ar15meister]

I dont have the backseat problem....although I do like your line of thought..:sifone::cheers2:

Adam, seeing as the "back seat" question was brought up...

What is under that hatch aft of your helm area?
Everytime I see pics of your boat, my only thoughts are "what a badazz boat", and "purpose built".
What a great looking boat.
But my wife would hate it - unless I was really hanging it out in a good 3-5'

I am pretty sure by F-1 rules, the hull has to be molded as a factory boat(same one they build for everyone), honestly I dont know if the 28's seeat base is molded into the hull as it is in a 24, but if it is, then he has the glass under there.

Nah, I don't expect it to be a seat base.
Just curious what's under there??
Think of the question in the same way as the "guess her muff" thread

 

[Uncle Dave]

Yeah,that race Pantera looks like an absolute Blast! I'd love to drive it.
(Ill be in Toronto this summer..........hint.....)

I've seen this rig before and always thought it was a really neat rig.
Nothing like a dedicated vehicle in any discipline for a good time.

Ill bet that thing is hotter than a half f#cked fox in a forest fire out in Arizona though.

By the Way AR- Nice garage dude.


Kevin Coopers boat is over at the Lavey shop and I been thinking about maybe picking it up. Another dedicated piece, its about as versatile as titz on a boar, but its pretty neat.


Shouldnt everybody have three boats?

I was up to three at one time.
Actually a headache I don't miss.
But, I had three boats that all ran.
Now I have one boat, and it has been dismantled since the day I brought it home.
Reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote "I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have NO kids and THREE money"?
But, If I finally get some things taken care of, and get this one put back together... I'll be shopping for another to add to the stable.

 

[Buoy]

Jimmy Hoffa?


UD

We'll get Geraldo Rivera on it.

No, wait, I'll do it. I need a better job, and Jimmy Hoffa's vault was the only reason that Geraldo has a job today.

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Hey Dave, buy Coopers boat! Then come play with us racing this year.

I bet I know what's "in the back seat" but I don't want to turn this into a scat joke session! Seiously though I'd guess its like mine, no cockpit liner, just a floor glassed to the hull sides.

Dave my 28 is up in Van Nuys right now. You're welcome to check it out.

Give me a call, I want to talk to you about that race Lavey. Pm me or email if you need my number.

 

[ar15meister]

nothing under the hatch just a floor.
I like the canopy boat....

purpose built is what it is......nothing more and definately nothing less!

if I wanna cruise with a bunch of broads I can use this....

 

[ar15meister]

how is this for purpose built??
