Hi,<br /><br /> I was wondering if someone could give me an idea of the value of this rig. I understand that the value "is in the eye of the beholder" but some good opinions would be helpful.<br /><br /> I have the opportunity to buy a 17' ArrowGlass boat. I believe the boat is probably early '70's. The boat has been sitting for 10-12 years. The fiberglass on it is really nice. The paint has faded some. This boat has a center console. The floor may be soft in a few spots. The front of the boat is a slight step up and is all fiberglass (the floor). This would be the area where you can operate a trolling motor and where the anchor would be. The transom seems very strong. Basically the only problem with the boat would possibly be the floor and carpeting.<br /><br /> The trailer is nice. It has 2 flat tires but is very sturdy.<br /><br /> It has a 1976 Chrysler 120 HP outboard on it. The motor has also been setting for 12 years. Before it was going to set, they put oil in each cylinder. Some of the wiring is slightly corroded. I messed with it some yesterday and got it to turn over. I was checking the compression, not trying to actually start it (plugs out). I don't know, however, if the motor will run and what kind of work it might take to get it into "useable" shape.<br /><br /> So what would this be worth??.....<br /><br /> He is asking $600 for it all.<br /><br />Shane
