Germans got the Baltic so why not offshore race there or come over up here to do one race Sunset, Roslagsloppet that is, you´d fit right in there in the Classic class with the Arrows and even Tomas with the ex Travelnow.com Pantera might give you some competition.
I mean we ain´t got the sun of Florida but neither does New Jersey or Michigan...
Besides Roslag is a true offshore race and oldest of them all.
We do not know each other in person.
I drive around in the Speyer area, sometimes Eicher See or Wiesbaden.
As far as I remember you have bought the 33 Powerplay from Alexander.
Marcus with the 28 AeroTek (and other boats) is a buddy of mine. I think you know him.
You know that this world is small and Germany is even smaller. There are not so many GoFast boats here so you know most of the owners.
Alex, I got caught up talking about your boat and didn't take the time to welcome you to Serious Offshore. So welcome. Glad to have another Pantera Brother on the site!
Why don't your start a new thread in here with pics of your boat and some info on getting it over to Germany and what you've done with it or plan to do with it since you bought it. (OK, I'm impatient... I started it for you.)
2000 w/single 880 HP and 3A speedmaster drive. Had it out in the ocean today and ran awesome in sloppy 2-4 footers. 380S tabs and a smaller custom aluminum swimplatform. Gail Paik did the custom paint work.
This 28' has been very well taken care of since new.Has very low hours on it.
Like to try this power in a new Pantera 28' SR with our new T.S. bottom. I have seen 95 MPH on GPS in this 28' single. Has a 3 man bolster with a simple back seat and race dash. No cabin no cockpit liner.
Tunnel Vision 28' was very fast back in 1992 and the crew ran it hard with alot of heart. Won alot of races in 1992 beating the twin engine boats with a single.Kind of started the evolution of the Pantera 28' with a single big HP set up.
The Dodge Viper 28' was neat because no one had ever powered a Hi - Performance boat with a Viper motor at the time. When we showed up at the Miami race it drew a crowd quick and alot of talk.
