If it wasn't so far away I would buy it , sell all the parts . Should be worth 5K just in parts then set it in the back lot till I was ready to build my Duramax boat . Other members complained about it being a POS but if you had to pay someone else to do the work it would not be worth it but we can do the build in house and I would be ok .

Been there done that. Personally I wouldn't d!ck w/it, but someone might. If anyone was in any way interested, I wouldn't give more than 3k. Too much to be bought cheap right now in better condition. Patience is the key...these boats ALWAYS come up for sale.

What world do you live in ? 88Bullet found the only 28 that was a deal in the last five years .
You might find Scarab's , Fountain's and Baja's but there is no such thing as a 6K 28 Pantera ..
I,ve thought about buying it just to show people it is rebuildable

ok...show me what I don't know. There out there for sale now, but nobody's making offers or buying. I live in the REAL world.

Even if you do all the work yourself, you will have 30k into it and it will still be a 1981 worth about 15k.

All I'm saying is show me another 28 Pantera for less then 10K , Rebuilding a boat that needs that much work is not for everyone but for myself it's what I like to do .
To be clear ! There is 5K worth of parts to be sold off that boat . So I look at it as having a $1000 in the hull , rebuild the stringer system and transom to a single and lets say you have 15-20k in motor , drive, and rigging , 4K in paint , 3K in a nice trailer and 200 hours of time invested , about 5K . So lets just say 32-35K .
Now here's where I stand . I have 35K in a 28 Pantera that I built , I know everything about it inside and out and it's just the way I want it ....OR ....Go buy a 28 for 30K that you know nothing about , you don't know if the motor is what the seller claimed it is or the outdrive has a thousand hours on it or maybe you wish the gauges were different or what ever little thing you wish you could change .
Rebuilding/Resto isn't for everyone , Most need to buy the turn key boat . But don't knock the people that do love to make chicken salad out of chicken $hit .
