The ballast system argument is overblown here. I have the same system, and with the exception of having to replace a 12 dollar valve here and there, it works just fine. I never have to start driving to prime the system, and while yes, it fill slow compared to a ballast system with 2 or 3 pumps shoving water into a single bag, it's not a big deal. Turn everything on when you get in your boat and are headed to your riding spot, by the time you're there, it's full. If you surf a lot and need to switch water from bag to bag, get a tsunami pump and some quick attach plugs for the bag and just pump from one bag to the other with an external pump while also filling with your pump in the ballast system. Doing this I switch sides using 750lb bags in the lockers in under 4 minutes. Not an issue, and certainly not worth spending $1000 plus your time on an entirely new ballast system. The boats from 2007, expect 2007 technology.
Otherwise, I think it's well priced at 32k. They're certainly going for more than that, and I wouldn't sell my 20 foot 2006 supra for less than 28k, so offering anything less than that would be insulting IMO. Supra is a strong brand with great build quality. You're not buying an upgraded Moomba from 2007. These are good boats in line with the quality of the big 3.
