Ideally, I want as close to what I have into to it which is well over $80k but I am taking offers. Depending on the day and what side of the bed I wake up on is really what dictates what offer I will accept.
It may be the couch if I bring home a third boat!
I know the market is soft and this is not a "deal" for the average buyer but that is not the person that I am looking for. I am looking for another crazy person (like me) who wants a 28 sit down with twin 300XS Mercs that has been rigged at Pantera - without having to wait for one to be built from scratch. I do not know what the saving over new is but it is a lot!
The bottom line is: if someone wants a boat like this they would be hard pressed to do it cheaper or better so it costs what it costs. And, as I have said before, I am happy to keep the boat. A sale would be easier but 2 Panteras is an easy situation to make a guy happy!

Below the sunpad
I have fielded a lot of enquiries regarding the boat; in particular the rigging and the area below the sunpad. All rigging done by Pantera at the factory and here is a shot of what is below the sunpad. As you can see, lots of room for coolers, anchor or anything you may want to carry aboard.
Try that with twin stern drives!

Before and After
I have been getting quite a few inquiries about the before and after pictures of the project so I have looked into the files and I will post a few. I am limited in the number of before shots that I have but here goes. Enjoy!

Bow Shot
Originally painted by Gail Paik. I kept the black but changed the other colors. All hardware (except deck rails) changed.

The big blocks sound good, but I'm still an outboard guy.
