Sounds like a nice rig. I think those old Hurricanes are cool. Your biggest concern is going to be rot in the wooden components of the hull. You want a solid deck and transom. ANY soft spots in the deck could be indicative of more serious damage below. Check it carefully. In good condition I'd think maybe as high as $3500 with that nice big motor.

You really can't. A solid deck is a good thing.
