I'd say he's asking a skosh much... I picked up a '75 a few months ago for 7,000, and it's in pretty good shape.

yeah, thats what i thought....since i want a truck first, i wont be able to afford it at 15k.....hell, if he goes lower, to like your ballpark, it'll be no prob.

Sounds really high to me for a 72 in what you say is just OK condition.

Fantastic riding boat, handles the chop very well and lots of room in the cockpit for everyone. Built like a tank as well.

Sorry dude, no picks in this computer. My home computer crashed with all the pics thats why I have'nt put it on the boards yet. I have an ad in the boat trader. I think the price in there is $14K. I'll take some pics over the weekend and send them to you.

The URL for the picture.
The picture needs to be hosted somewhere (like hotboatpics.com or the ***boat image center). Once it's uploaded to a site, right click, open the properties box, highlite the URL, then copy the URL.
Paste the URL into the dialog box in the image prompt screen, then click "OK"
Clear as mud???

I have just decided to sell my 1981 Daytona. Boat is in great shape. 11:1 motor with plenty of goodies. New Agressor AA impellor. Boat runs 73 mph or so at 5000 ft elevation and 80 down on the river. 21 ft is large enough to ride decent, yet still small enough to be quick. All alum parts have been poweder coated. Trailer is in good shape too. $15000 bill_msi@yahoo.com

Some people try to turn sentimental value into cash. Others think they have the greatest boat in the world and should be compensated greatly for their willingness to give it up. A 20 year old boat, no matter who built it is not worth 15K.
