Hey guys, most of you know I listed my stars and stripes 2003 28 sport in Sept.
I realize we are just beginning serious shopping season so I should not look to hard at "activity" since Sept. I also realize it's somewhat of a buyers market and that while the Pantera market is somewhat limited, other decent boats are around, some with very motivated sellers.
I'm trying to gage what it'll take to move my boat by august, sooner is good. I'm mooching indoor storage from a friend, the boat show's awesome, run's strong/reliable. delivery is negotiable, a 20 hr roadtrip is part of life for our race team.
Aside from the "I'll give you $5k" attempted humor, what's a good sweet spot to move it in our market? I know some board members only buy boats from people willing to take a serious beating- I'm not that guy. But it's a great boat and I'd like to find it a good home at a fair price. Feel free to post (helpful) comments here or PM me if you prefer.... Thanks

I believe that like cars, boats depreciate the most within the first few years.
My guess is that your boat is worth 50 to 60% of what a new one would cost.
In 2002 I paid $23,000 for my 1997 24' Super. She was $42,000 new from the factory in 97.
So what would your boat cost new? 120-140K.
She should move at 70K without question...

what are new similar boats these days, 140-150K?
Storm, yes I would, could yank the power/bobtail, get a fresh Dyno sheet, bill of health and turn it to cash, I've got some locals lusting for the engine if it came to that I also have the stock XR lower if someone preferred that to the std length Imco housing and could put it on a custom triple axle black steel trailer if someone preferred that to the AL trailer. I think I've got the flexible seller part nailed down

It should sell for low 70s... not asking 70.
Does it have the drop floors?...ahh just noticed it does.
What kind of offers have you had, if any?
tough market out there...

I figure figure every "on the fence would be boater" who does nothing cause of gas concerns is replace by some one thinking 28-32 that elects to go big single for the same gas concerns. There are few comparable boats when it comes to big worthy singles

I maybe a little selfish, but I hope you don't sell it! I won't be in my 24 Super forever, and yours would be a perfect move up! Is that selfish? Sorry!
I'm not the one to give values as I've been in the sport only a short while. It is a fantastic looking boat, and pretty rare for these parts. I think if you take it out on the holiday weekends and such around Grand or LOTO, you could generate some good interest. Oh, and I know you'll be wanting to run the Elimintaor, so I can drive and advertise the Pantera for ya!
