Simplykind,
The hull looks in good shape. I have been down this road before and the best way to price this boat is for what the hull alone would be worth to you and then add roughly $1000 for the engine which is way past its economic life. I am sure that others here will tell you it could last forever, however, if it does not, you can add $4000 to rebuild it or $13-$15 grand to repower. With that being said, you would have a lot more than the boat is worth invested at that point so it might behoove you if you are not interested in investing into the old engine down the road to look for a boat with newer power and spend more than this boat but about half of what you will ultimately spend to repower which is a given with a almost 30 year old motor. As for my story, I purchased a 1995 15 foot dauntless for around $6000 which was a great deal until the 1995 Evinrude 70 H.P seized and I repowered with a new Yamaha 70 H.P for a total of $8000 out the door rigged. While it is a great boat with classic looks, I could of got into a larger Montauk or Dauntless for the same as I have invested now but I will keep this boat a long time.
