I have a boat with a bad motor. I have someone that is interested in buying it, but have no idea what I should sell it for due to the bad motor. Its a 14' 1983 Starcraft aluminum v-hull fishing boat with no leaks. Also, the boat comes with a brand new 3 gallon gas tank with new fuel line. The boat comes with a newer mid 90's trailer with tilt that is in good condition with the lifetime license. The motor is a 1983 Mercury 20 hp tiller, long-shaft. It has a scored cylinder, low compression in one cylinder, and ignition issues. It currently does not start. It ran fine all of last year, but this year it wouldn't start. I brought it to a reputable outboard shop and they told me about the problems. About how much should I sell this for? I was thinking a few hundred bucks? Any input is appreciated, thanks!
I think $1000 would be wishful thinking. I live in the Midwest, little aluminum fishing boats with good working motors sell for that much new.
