I owned 4 Powerquest boats ,so its fair to say that I like them.

I dont want to sound negative and I hope the guy gets asking price and even more,but in todays economy/market for 130k your options open up alot.

That 70k 380 in the classified has been on the market for 3-4 years now.

Just saying.

Im sorry but,
before I start any negotiating I like to know the price.

I had a really good idea of where the price would be at....tracking the boat the last listing that I found was at 169K so I knew it wouldnt be listed for more....and I had a set price that I am comfortable with and where I wouldnt budge from...

Boatnt, let me rephrase that, I knew what the boat was listed at and was waiting for a revised price...

I think the colour combo/ graphics, condition and salt or fresh water use may play a part of the time frame that the boat has been listed. I dont think it is mint looking at some pictures.

you also have to understand its a 2001,so it will not be mint,its 10 years old.

all I am saying is this,
they have not been selling for high dollars for a long time.

The one that Wally posted a picture of was been for sale for a long long time looked at it 3 years ago and the asking price was 100k,but its mint but still not selling,I was going to offer him 75 to 80k 2 days ago but he is still stuck on 100k,Oh well

got you.

When I read your reply it sounded like you where further along.

Its replyes like the one above that made me think you where further along.
(if the deal goes south I can let you know)

Tom... in a 380??? After ALL the 34ft running surface razzing?? Lol

I think sometimes I speak in circles rather than just stating what is the obvious, sorry about that.
It is further along than me just showing interest in the boat.....I have made an offer and it is in the owners court right now.
The owner has to take some time to digest what the market is dictating the boat is worth.
Will they accept the offer...dont know, but in my mind it is an honest and fair one.
