Actually, it was a touch under $20k, and it will be on it's way to the Jax Port before the end of the week. None of these cheap ass American's wanted to step up and buy a nice boat, so it's going across the pond.
I will be Pantera-less soon, and left to be a pad-v driving fool. Got a big one and a little one...

buddy....lol. they are going to crucify you in here! I think alot of guys who own boats and pay to fix/run/operate them find it a bit insulting when people who dont own a boat talk like experts on value and cost.
Not to stir the pot but 'great shape' is a relative term......my boat is in pretty good shape and it is still a money pit.
And just asking.... why didnt you buy one of the 25k boats? holding out for them to drop to 10grand? blow up the 700hp motor you will need to make one of these run respectably fast and see what it costs to fix it.
I spent 30 grand on mine in the last 3 years. Brand new transom assembly, props, completely rebuilt 675HP motor, carbs, completely rebuilt drive, bilge redone, etc.
Unless you want to run a slow assed pantera you have to spend money. But what do I know........I want a skater but for now I will only run what I can afford to break.
Thats why I drive a Z06 instead of an F430......and a Pantera instead of a Skater.
