1971 Larson open bow

Trailer is in great condition with absolutely nothing wrong with it

Boat's interior was redone last summer but the 3.0L Mercruiser gets overheated very quickly and may have a crack in the block or exhaust manifolds.

$800

is it a good price?

do a compression test on the motor. without power the boat has very little value being a 1971. pull the plugs, do you get water.

well there is for sure a crack in the exhaust manifold...would it even be worth it to get it running? What if I found a used motor off of ebay? Would it be worth 1500-2000 then when its running?
