Nice addage - fits the pantera boats very well.
Nope, never went to look at the boat. I was going to leave it as is. Mid 70's is plenty fast for me. Last I remember the engines only have around 275 hours (probobly 290 now) and have new manifolds. I never could find any bad on the boat.
I would have bought the shogren boat less engine, but it wasn't advertised as such. That guy got a great deal.
Throw in $5K to get to 80+ is a nice little option. Just ask Dude Sweet how much he is into his boat and still sitting at low 70's

this boat for 40 seems like a great buy.
me personally, i'd be looking at the 99 jo has, and throw some juicy sbcs in there.... yea, you'd be into it for more, but more power and new power costs....

I never said that it was a bad boat. Nor did I say that it wasn't a good price. I did meet the previous owner, seen it, know what he was asking for it, and know how many hours are on those motors. I don't want to bash anyone's boat. A simple leak down test will show if they are tired. There are other factors that go into the price of a boat too. Like transom assy and the number of hours on those outdrives. Personally I would automatically assume a rebuild and factor that into the cost of the boat.
