What's this actually worth?

[natemoore]

The wife and I are wanting a deck boat instead of our 17' Four Winns Horizon.

This Hurricane deck boat has the 4.3L engine, which I hear is a little bit better than the 3.7L Mercruiser

What would you pay for his project boat? Not running. Needs reupholstering. 20 years old., etc.

looks like some seat backs are totally missing an the real lounge I don't see id estimate around 5k possibly on upholstery and the carpet is shot too im sure.

My X-ray vision sees rot and waterlogged foam from being exposed to the elements... no more than $800.

I'd be asking how much he's going to pay you to take it off his hands. You're going to be dumping a couple grand easily just to get it towable (trailer is trashed) and running, not to mention anything hidden such as rotted stringers or transom, deck, and uphostry.

...cushions/foam are bad in spots.

LOL - looks like a couple of squirrels had a nest building contest in there.

To be honest - finding a good deck boat might be kinda' tough (I was looking a while back) and they seem to be a little rare. This one looks like a monumental project. If you decide to go look at it, I'd be hard pressed to offer more than $500 bucks (and that feels steep to me).

That really should be a free boat.

I would take 500 to haul it off.

It's a parts boat. Sorry to burst your bubble. The outdrive and trailer are worth something to someone who needs them. I think paying $500 for this rig is fair. Strip it for it's valuables and sell them.

You are way too generous.
To fix it up nice, and reliable, could cost $6000.

So $0 from me. $500 paid to me if I were to scrap it out for him.

You gotta think that boat and trailer have seen a lot of salt.

The trailer frame may be good, the rest is likely to be junk.

"Would turn over but..." blah blah blah.

Its junk; if you offer $250 the seller should be thanking his lucky stars... Even the trailer looks wanting for TLC.

Thanks for the input.

Maybe I'll pass on this until I have my myriad other projects completed. I'm sure it will still be sitting there.

I wouldn't take it even if you gave me $250 dollars. Not worth my time.
