Bonito boat value

[farmallman]

I have a 1987 CC Bonito with a 1993 60hp Johnson on a rusted out Wesco trailer. The Bonito is a center console but is missing the wind shield, seat cushions, not very clean at all. It is the style with live wells in the port and starboard stern. The motor has very little hours on it " but " is a 93 model. No electric tilt or trim and is a 2 stroke with oil mix tank. The trailer is a Wesco with center rollers and bunk board on the outboard sides. The main framing of the trailer is in really good shape just the bunk board support, roller brackets, have rusted away and I'm sure the wheel bearings, etc. need to be replaced. I'm guessing the trailer is a mid to late 90's model. It all has not been run in over 5 years. it was my fathers that passed away and I am trying to make a fair settlement to buy out my 3 other brothers interest so I can use the motor on my Carolina skiff. I have researched Johnson, Wesco, and Bonito sites but really can't find a reliable value. Is there anyone on this forum that can help me with determining a fair package price as well a broken down individual value of the boat hull, motor, and trailer priced separately.

Thanks to any and all help.

Re: Bonito boat value

OK, I'll take a shot in the dark. I'm sure there will be other opinions along as well.

A 26 year old boat with a missing windshield, apparently it's been neglected, and there are probably other problems (possibly including bad transom and stringers if it's not been properly cared for) ..... not worth much of anything. Maybe a couple hundred dollars if you're lucky.

A rusted out trailer in need of serious repair.... also not worth much of anything. Maybe a hundred dollars on a good day.

A '93 60 HP engine without tilt/trim. If it runs good maybe $600. HOWEVER, it's definitely in need of service before you run it. The water pump impeller will need to be changed and the carbs will need to be removed, cleaned, and replaced using new gaskets. SO, unless you're able to do that work yourself it will probably cost you 3 or 4 hundred dollars to get the engine ready to run.
