The age and boat make means alot. Plus the boat isn't exactly in the "Mako"
or "Grady White" class. A boat as you described would be worth $1500-2000 as
is. You said a new motor is about $1800. The installation would be almost as
much. So you figure you can then sell it for 6-7K. Take a look on ebay or
boat trader online. I think you will find out that you are better off
selling it as is. Unless you plan to do all the work yourself. I have
rebuilt blown engines for under $1000. You can probably salvage 90 percent
of what you have now.

I have a very unusual boat I want to sell and I'm trying to figure out
what
its worth.
I got it two years ago in a trade. Its a 1990 Glastron SX17 Sierra.
What
is unusual about it is that it is virtually brand new. The owner bought
it
in 1990. He only used it about two months and unfortunately didn't
winterize
it correctly. The block cracked and although it runs, it is not
repairable.
He left it in his garage for about 12 years and finally decided he
wouldn't
ever fix it so I traded him an old truck for it. I have the Boat, trailer
and all the accessories. EVERYTHING is virtually new and almost perfect,
it
just got a few small nicks from stuff in the garage being moved around it.
It has the 3.0 litre Mercruiser engine and an Alpha One drive.
I believe an engine from Jasper would be around $1800.
One would only need to see this to know its only been in the water a few
times. What would you think I could sell something like this for?

Thanks for any input.

Definitely planning on selling it as is. I have a boat and I don't have the
time or a lift to change the engine. I did get a service manual for it
though and it don't look like it would be real tough to change the engine if
I had a lift. Its a shame, it runs great but I just cant stop the water
from leaking from the block. ::sigh::
