STONE, Chief Judge,

dissenting.

I would reverse. It appears that the trial court’s credit to Appellees is based on a finding as to fair market value founded exclusively on inadmissible hearsay evidence. The trial court specifically rejected all other evidence of value. Cf. Port Largo Club, Inc. v. Warren, 476 So.2d 1330, 1334 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985).
