I can confidently tell you I wasted 3 days of my life And over 1000$ driving down there to see it. I had to buy an adjustable hotch for almost 300$ because Dean doesnt have a truck so I had to launch the boat so I could seatrial. The port engine wouldnt turn over. Both hull sides are delaminating. The entire cockpit interior is ruined with mold. The trailer brakes do not work and it has some flat tires. I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole. Let me find the craigslist ad I wrote up.

Ouch, what a bummer. That boat has been in TX for a while. Was for sale back in 2007 with new bravo drives. Guy that used to post here bought it and must of sold it a year or two ago, but I doubt it was in that kind of shape we he sold it. Sounds like it just sat outside for a year or two. I doubt the current owner paid more than $20K for it.
Honestly, don't spend $25K on a twin engine 28 Pantera unless you plan on spending at least another $25K to get it in good shape. I've done that before with a similar boat and it was the worst financial decision I've ever made. If your budget is $25K then do yourself a favor and at least limit yourself to a 24-27ft boat with a single engine that runs and is balanced well.
