The bad news:
Used boat market is flooded right now, economy is in the toilet and fuel is going to skyrocket in the coming years.
You have an old boat with a gas engine and an old out-drive.

The good news:
Your boat looks to have low usage, not fished hard and is clean and in good shape!


The reality:

Look for similar boats on yachworld and other publications, see what they are asking...expect to get 50-80% of that number.
Be realistic, not many people will call you these days on old boats with gas I/O's. If you have a lot of hours on a gas engine consider it worthless, even if it runs well. It is actually taking away from the value of the boat in some cases.

A similar style boat in my area (it was a searay with twin I/0's and had a trailer with lots of extras) and sold for around 7K I think.

as always, "your mileage will vary"
