I thought the guy in Detroit MI selling the 1995 24' Superboat with Bigblock with bravo for $15,000 was a decent deal. I was wishing he came to $12,500 and I would have closed the deal I sent him a few emails through cl never responded to my offer.

There was a guy in Seaford selling a 24; Superboat with a 2001 250hp o/b for $8K with trailer neg.

Both were on the market for a few months, wait until November the prices drop even more boat just are not selling in this economy.

Thays i agree with you. I gave my past 2 boats away just to get ride of them.

That Pantera is a pretty good deal it looks like.

Mike, what drives do you have on your Cig?
If you have accumulated TRS stuff then OK, but I'd much rather a Bravo boat.
I looked at a Banana with TRS and the engine was right up against the bulkhead and not vary easy to work on.
If this next ride is only a second boat and no cabin required, another option would be to find a 22' Donzi Classic.

Had an 18 Donzi. Was fun but i dont know the free board on the 22. Im looking also at a 24 Carrera in NH. Im going to see it Sat. I do want a cain just incase i take it somewhere for an over night at the smaller poker runs. TRS on the Cafe, They have been beefed up but I know will only take so much of a hammering. Im looking into konrads.

In that case I would certainly want a TRS boat. I find it much easier from a maintenance standpoint when all my equipment is the same. Not to mention 2 spare drives if you ever go Konrad. I'm a huge fan of the TRS's. They can arguably handle more power than a bravo, and if you know where to go parts are easy to find. Not to mention they shift so silky smooth!

It may be a bit far from you, but it sure is nice to bring your own power to the game.

Hi Mike,
The 22' Donzi is 22'-6", the 24' Super/Pantera is 23'-7", both 7' wide and about the same freeboard.
No cabin in a 22' Donzi Classic and that is why when we down sized from a 28' Cig, I went 24' Pantera and then 24' Super.
I also had an 18' Classic and they are a vary small boat vs. the 22'.
Have fun with your hunt! It sure is a lot more fun buying than selling...

Pat, you thnk the freeboard is the same on a 22c and a 24SB?
I couldn't imagine standing in a 22c.
