What type of boat is this. And how much is this worth

[jbcurt00]

1k, maybe.

But as mentioned it isnt valuable because its old and at 47yrs old, its way last its normak service life.

Even in perfect, all original condition, its simply an old, 70s style boat and not particularly valuable

How much is the value of a 1977 tri hull invader good condition

It depends on what you plan to do with it and the waters you could use it on.

If the boat doesn't leak, and NO ROT, the motor is in perfect running order, and it can get the boat up on plane with 3 adults in it, it MIGHT be worth $1000 if you have some small calm lakes to use it on.

It is worth NOTHING at all if it leaks, the motor is to small or not working properly.

HAS THE SELLER AGREED TO TAKE YOU OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE?

If not, run away.


These boats really are terrible to use for just about anything.
Terrible in waves or choppy water.
Terrible to fish out of.
Terrible to fix.
And most came with a motor that was too small to use for waterspouts, even with kids.

If you reread the responses above, I think you will find that we are telling you to stay away from this thing.
Ok, I'l say it, Don't buy this unless you can do fiberglass repair, rebuild outboards, can troubleshoot outboard ignition systems, and would rather spend you Saturdays working on the boat instead of using it.

Oh Jiminy Christmas. Now we find out it has an old Chrysler.


Nothing. It is worth nothing. $0.00

No mechanic will work on the motor.
And no matter what anyone tells you, you will have one hell of a time find and parts for it.
The motor was designed in the 60's and is 4 generations past obsolete.

Maybe if you tell us where you are located, and your purchase budget, and your total boat budget for the year, we could help find or recommend a boat for you.

If you got the boat for free, figure adding $2K for a new motor, $3k to rebuild the rotten boat innards and another $400 to make the trailer safe.

So, now you have $5,400 invested and if you find out that it bounces around too much to your liking you can sell it for $1,000.

Oh lord, you can't even pay someone to take an old Chrysler motor around here. I had one of those horrendous Chrysler/Force outboards on my old Bayliner. Found someone really wanted the hull, but almost wouldn't take it because the motor... He finally figured out another poor soul to take the motor and got the boat.
