I was looking at this boat, it has 84-85 powerheads, no offshore exhuast and bobs nose cones lowers (basically fishing motors), no real guages like gafrig etc. and is 20 years old???????? any idea a real number on this will be considering that the survey shows no rot.....

Regardless, i dont think its worth what they will take for it.

OK, well... i'll go 20k.

Pantera24

I agree 20k --- 25k max.
Heck they bought the hull DIRT cheap and maybe have spent another 10k max on it.

I dont even think that much, Dustin here on offshoreonly.com had a 1992 28 Pantera full pleasure (Gelcoat) gail paik paint stripes, pleasure boat with extended cockpit and a pair of Evenrudes 1992 on the back with a complete interior by F1 interiors done a month before it went for sale and sold the boat for 20k and had it for sale for months.... On this market I tend to think 13-14k for a three man bolstor is about right..... Whats your say..

Pantera24

Yea in today's market they may have to give it away!! hahaha
I know for a fact that hull sold for 5k or less......because I called when it went for sale and it had already sold...argh.
As for Dustin's boat I still kick myself for not buying it.
Oh well...

I must agree. You are basically buying the hull because after you buy it, you will replace everything. New engines, gauges, maybe even change the layout. Big $$$.

I bought Dustin's boat and I am still kicking myself. Great boat but small projects always end up as big projects unless you have a great amount of willpower which most people involved in boats do not have.

So now I have two outboard powered Panteras with two sets of older motors on the ground along with everything that I replaced in both boats. But I am having fun and I did say that I had no willpower.

Make an offer based on what you think you will spend on it (x 2 to be safe). It is only time and money!

yea thats what im thinking. I know that once I buy, I might have to change things around......

Excellent point especially based on the pics. By the looks of it, the steering is not complete, and if those motors are 83-85 200's, that means they're 2.4 liter and carb'd. The motors complete aren't worth more than about $2000-$2500 each (that's if they're in decent running condition.)

true, how's your 28 with the 300XS's running? Got any new top end numbers?

Sad to say but work has gotten the better of me and I have not had time to play with props or engine heights. Right now 74.4 is the best I have seen with the Bravo 4 blades (as I received it). I know there is more to be had, just need time.

Thanks for asking. I will post the numbers when I do the tests.

Andy,

My 28 was a good deal because for starters it is a very functional and desirable layout with extended cock pit and twins on a bracket ( It appeals to a broader cliental, easier sell. ) and it was in the water turn key. 2nd I re-did everything that was needed to be reliable and completely re-did both motors. I only sat in the interior once after done! Of coarse Darin ( trutrini ) took it to another level with all he did with the enormous amount in up grades and time spent. ( Sorry he has not had the time to enjoy it yet. ). A former race boat with a 3 man bolster is not exactly targeting allot of people and I would imagine it to be a very difficult sell especially in todays climate. The motors are junk and you have 3 head aches hanging off the back that will drink. What you are really getting here is a hull and deck with interior. Be prepared $$$. Its only saving grace is that it is a Pantera and for a rare person that may want the 3 man race version I think your numbers are very fair around 14K.
