Hi guys, I'm looking at a 1973 Holiday with no compression on the outboard. Interior is ok, hull isn't the greatest. Wondering what you guys think this would be worth? or where to start?

Looks like it could go either way

I've seen some real nasty marina boats in Lake Michigan. Scum & algae.

Ayuh,... The brackish water ends at the 1st dam in Montreal,.....

Very fresh water at Abay,....

For a '73 boat with a dead motor, I'd offer the scrap price of the aluminum, 'n not a dime more,....

There's that 5 letter word again :rolleyes:

I guess at 600 I way over paid for my Chief, no motor and trailer was rotting out. These old boats are worth what the owner can get for them, they always ask high and you have to bring them back to earth on the price. I went from the asking of 1100 down to 600. Without knowing anything else about the boat, your going to have to go look at it to see for yourself what it;s worth to you.
