Impossible to answer "what's it worth" without photos and better description. How was it repaired and who did the repairing? Too much unknown. Edited by gchuba on 10/10/18 - 8:50 AM

How does she looks balanced in the water with old engine. Again what engine is it. Skipper E-J m/v "Clumsy Cleat" a 2008 Montauk 150

The late model repowers are all right, but there's something great about the lightweight originals that makes them hard to beat if they're in good shape.
