Looks like a cool set up for fishing. Should move nicely with 50. If the engine is in good shape it should be worth the $.

Make sure the motor is good and offer 900.00 the most he can say is no.

there is not much value in a 77 50hp mercury. the electrical parts could be hard to find. the boat looks fine. but not a rough water boat. $1,000 tops, why motor value-$200. if it had a 1990 or newer motor, it would be worth 1500.

I wouldn't give $1,500 for it. $1,000 would be a hopeful figure around here.
When I see this boat, I see parts. Sorry.
