How much is this boat worth?

[dfalk]

I bought a boat about 1.5 years ago with hopes of restoring it, but now everytime I look at it, its just an eyesore and looks like a huge money pit so Im gonna sell it. Heres everything that I know about it

1976 Aristrocraft 19' I/O
Mercruiser 120 engine with Mercruiser lower unit
Ran a compression test on the engine and all 4 cylinders were good. Also did a pressure check on the lower unit and it was good.
Hull is in good shape
Tilt/trim motor is bad and will either need to be rebuilt or buy a new one.
Interior is in pretty rough shape and will need some work.
Trailer could use some paint but is in good shape

Im gonna throw this up on craigslist, how much do you think I could get for this?

Re: How much is this boat worth?

Without pictures, it's not worth a whole lot, the value of boats depend greatly on condition (especially on older ones), it also depends on the location that you live in, the demand for that style of boat.

If a person cannot see it run or operate on the water, expect the value to drop radically.

Aristocrafts are a little more desirable than other older glass boats especially if it's complete and has the hard top. Does yours? If so I'd see if I could get a grand for it.

I'd be really happy if I got a grand for it.

You said that the interior was rough. Biggest issue is the condition of the deck (floor). Soft spots and it's worth very little. Ez suggested 1K for a Hardtop.

$600 unless there are soft spots

The deck is great, its an all fiberglass boat with no wood, so no soft spots. I guess i should re-word it, the interior is an good shape, except for the seats, they will need to be redone.
