How do you know it is just a bad carb?
Assuming everything else is in decent shape in terms of transom, floor,
carpet, upholstry, seat wood, decking, trailer, tires, motor, etc..
My guess is $4500 to $5000.
If it is indeed just a bad carb. I would offer him $4500 and he pay to fix
the engine. That way if there are other problems he has to fix it not you.
