Questions about a boat, motor, and trailer combo.

.
I am trying to find out some things about this boat, motor, and trailer.

It is all a 2002 outfit combined.

Boat is a 18ft. G3 DLX 1860 welded
Motor is a Yamaha F90TLR8 4 stroke
Trailer is a galvanized 18ft. Single axle

All have been sitting still for about 6 years in Florida
out of the water in a camp ground.

What would it cost to go through the carbs etc. and get it running,
if it is not locked up, and still has good cylinder compression.

What do you feel is the amount to pay for this outfit ?

Hard to say without pics and a lot more info. What condition is everything in? The motor may be fine or may never run again. Where will it be used? Galvanized trailer for salt use has much less value than if to be used in freshwater. Sight unseen- $2500 but could easily be worth a lot more.

A 18ft. welded aluminum with a F90 is a pretty nice fishing rig.

Price is highly related to 1) condition and 2) location.

I know boats are way cheper down here in Florida than in Canada and, most importantly, does it sit uncovered for 6 years in that campground? Is the trailer rusted-thru by saltwater use?

Here, if in really good condition, it would sell for $8k (heck, I just sold my 1993 Tracker Pro Deep-V 17 with a 2-stroke Merc 60hp of the same vontage last fall for $6,500!).

By browsing through the Yamaha owners manuals, it seems they made the F80 and F100 up until 2002, then for 2003-2004 the F90 carbed and, in 2005, they went with the EFI version of the F90, so yours maybe a 2003...

A 90 hp/4 stroke will run you some serious cash, like others have said, it's all about the way it was stored and proctected. More details and a picture or two, will get you some better #'s. Could easily be a $5k boat, my 97 tin boat welded with a 90 merc 2 stroke will go for $5k. Mine is a Spectrum, and they are budget boats. What brand make a huge difference too, but past use , and care are the big variables.

Sorry I could not post pictures quicker ...
had to go and take them first ... then I had to move my son across
the state to another location ... been kinda busy ! ! !

The rag around the bottom is a tarp that rotted and now hangs down.
Trailer has no rust ... doubt if is was ever in salt water ( don't know for sure )
Boat has a lot of pine needle in it ( sitting under a pine tree )
and floor is some type of plastic ... not plywood.
Boat was used very little, and has been sitting for around 6 years.
