I think these are photos of the 1993 Sport on BoatTrader. The seller emailed me these back in August. At the time there were some issues w/ the drive but that may be resolved now. The email said the front bolsters were new in July.

If using Albert's aka MIAMIBOYS Mig 28 as a benchmark (race layup with 3-pack bolster, beefed up Bravo, external hyd steering, k-planes, no motor but everything necessary to handle 850hp, dual axle alum trailer, etc etc) which sold for $25k in 9/07 vs this boattrader listing... if in comparison there are no big surprises with this hull, motor & drive, it sounds like a fairly good deal. Whoever is seriously considering this rig should pony up the cash & fly out Ed Cozzi to do a full survey. Not only is Ed a competent high perf surveyor, but he also surveyed the Mig 28 for it's new owner.

That boat already has been for sale for a loooooong time! 
Jo said it was an old race boat that wasn't rigged by Pantera as I recall. I'd guess that this boat may have all the same issues as many other old race boats (Tomas' boat for example) but those may be hidden under the psudo-pleasure refit.
I don't think this boat and the Mig are a fair comparison. I saw the Mig in person and it was spotless... And she ran the number. This boat doesn't run period!
