The 34' with twin front seats? Or the 30' Canopy with two seats?

Larry,
Very good point. I had two visitors/potential buyers from NY here this morning looking at the boat. I have considered buying it, and we have an inter-family agreement, but if my mother can get what she wants for it, then I will do everything I can to help her. I love the Phantom, it is just too much for me right now ($$$), my Mom is a tough negotiator, my father was much easier to business with, but family is family, it all works out in the end. The bottom-line is I want my mother to be comfortable, and I do not have $85K (in actuality my purchase price would be less than $85K, but I need a tow vehicle too), nor do I want to finance right now, maybe soon, but not right now. AND, in the meantime, as long as I maintain, service, buy parts, and care for the Phantom, I can use the Phantom (I am the only person who can drive it, mother has never been in it and will not get in it, and my brother has zero hours seat time above 75 mph, let alone 90+ mph in a stepped V).
Professionally, I am going back to being a criminal defense attorney real soon, so money should be good then.
For boating ideas I would prefer to go smaller, if I stay as a hot-rodder, I really like the new 28' T/S Pantera (still more $$$ than the Phantom). I am dating someone now, so I have shifting financial, personal, and professional priorities which will drive what we (I) do with the Phantom. It would be tough to part with the boat, considering we are sinking another $5K (estimate) for both outdrives to be rebuilt; mother and I have much more in it than what it is worth, but that is the joy of boat ownership.
Above is a long answer to a short question. Maybe I will buy it this summer if it does not sell to an outside party (not a family member), and hopefully I will get a good deal
PS----(post) Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you

House and boat are still for sale, if you know anyone call me. Tree(s) had to go, per my brother, so it was done. Happy New Year to both of you.

You should post pictures STV, the Stoker, and the Shadow on the river this fall, that was an impressive trio, not necessarily OSO boats, but impressive.
