I don't think he wants to buy one... He wants to steal one.
Hopefully nobody takes one of these lowball offers from this guy- that would only devalue the rest of the boats in this crappy market more.

Money talks BS walks...at this point we're knee deep...put your budget up and what you want. Maybe someone will bite. Does anyone know how many 28's are out there in that year range with a single set up. Less than 20 Maybe? I think Jo or PePe estimated about 1K boats total have been built in the last 30+ year. Gonna be really tough if your wanting a deal and way to picky.

The 99 with twins in the classified looks like a deal or better yet buy non powered and do it your way. Seems like the non powered's in great shape bring over 40K in that age range..I might be wrong.

If you are serious about buying a pantera you would know this, and not be asking us.
But to be on your side, i don't think you are looking to steal a boat. VB's old boat would be a great buy at $55k. If you can wait to see if the $ comes down... great, or you could pony up $5k to get the boat now and get it and not have to think about it...
in the long run paying up 10% than what you hope to buy it for and... $5000 in the long run of boating... is nothing.

i like Bongos boat... if it had a different paint job i probably would have offered 55. nice new paint 5k (i might find one that i like) the reason that the owners price does not have much margin for negitioation is because it has a bank note. by the time they sell the boat, it could very well be that they will have forked out more than 10k in monthlys and insurance...... sometimes you have to lose to win. Been there, Done that!
