The "except trim" part means that everything works except for one of the really important functions that's potentially really expensive to fix.

You don't say the year. I'm guessing a mid-late 80s.

$2,000 around here if you're lucky. This time of year, if you really want to sell it, you better be ready to accept the first offer that's more than $1500.

What size motor? Look on craigslist and see something comparable and see what they are going for. This is the worst time to sell. You will take a hit on a end of year sale. Also, roller trailer does not appeal to a lot of people. Good luck!

IDK but a little more info... What type outdrive?, what size engine? What size boat? Describe seats needing recovering (ripped or just old and faded).

he didn't say "except trim", he said "except trim gauge in dash." That's a big difference.

Looking at the pictures it diesn't look bad. Near me, you could probably get around $3k for it (Illinois).

Yep, heading into the buyers season now. People are thinking football games and hunting trips instead of boating now. If you do sell it, it'll probably be to someone that'll be willing to hold it over the winter and fix it up to sell in the spring sellers market for a decent mark-up.

I see that now. There was a funny line break and it thougth that was trim and some gauge in the dash that didn't work.

Motor size according to his signature line is a 4.3.

I ammend my estimate: $2000-$2500.
