Loved it.very solid boat,easy to handle w/no chine walk..dont know what gps was,but the speedo had a top speed of 75 mph and the needle was bouncing at the top.dont know what it would be worth today but good luck on nego.

I bought a 95 Persuader 21-9 454/bravo1 with 395 hours in Feb 2010 for $9,500. The boat was in excellent condition and included a Eagle trailer. GPS is right at 74 mph and handles great with the trim tabs. It has been a great boat for the wife and I. It could be a little confined if you have several kids running around though.
