I have been browsing craigslist as well as kijiji and the Boat trader and I
CANNOT find a boat from the early 1980's listed at under $1000. They are all
around $5K -$7K. Can it be that maybe we are being too harsh?

What is it worth? It looks well cared for.

From the pictures, and he's fairly liberal with them so that's
something of a plus, it's in remarkable condition for a 25 year old
boat - I'd almost say show room condition from the pictures.

Having said that, it's still a 25 year old boat with all the attendant
potential that incurs for repairs - meaning that there is more
negative potential with a boat that old than positive.

Just guessing given it's condition, it's worth a thousand dollars max
with the usual caveats about mechanicals, but not more than that and I
wouldn't pay that much for it.

This is Ebay so that means he's probably got friends and neighbors
bidding up the price for him.

You must not be moderating Chuck's Island very closely. Earlier you said
it
was quiet. But, there are all kinds of new pictures of boats up over
there.

Where you been, young'un?
