a 40 year old fiberglass boat....... its worth more to you than what you could sell it for. you may get $200, you may get $2000 for that one special buyer that has a sentimental attachment to a 40 year old entry level boat (like maybe his grandparents had one)

depends on your location and if the motor/drive is a Mercruiser or volvo

worth a lot less with OMC

I chopped up an ‘86 Freedom 160 which is very similar. I saw a few decent of the same for $3k or so.. if you have receipts and it presents well it may fetch $5k
