This boat appears to be in Crawfordville, near Tallahassee. Looks interesting. Not mine, just looking at stuff on CL.

Anyone have any guess as to whether this boat is priced right? Pictures could have a little more detail, but looks relatively unmolested to me. I'm thinking about driving over to see it and may make an offer. If want to re power.

Upon further review, looks more like a late 70s outrage, possibly 77?

These engines were the cheapest of the 4 cylinders of the evinrude line durning these years, Engines are at least 30 years old, and the hull looks like a 75-76. If the boat was keep on the trailer the hull should be dry, but the engines are/have to be at the end of their lives, Gas tank, new or is it still the old tank?. The hull you have to be there in person to give it the once over. The boat/hull is worth about 2500-3500 depending on the condition and the trailer about 1000 tops, like I said the engines are just to old. I would pay 7500-8000, but remember the engines will need replacing, purchasing this boat would be to do a repower....good luck

I thought it looked good too at first. Really good. After talking to some friends in the Florida area it turned it had been for sale elsewhere other than Craiglist since early last fall. One friend had it looked at in person and said the gelcoat was quite "sun baked" which you can not see in the photos. There are more pictures here:

Those engines don't come with power trim or oil injection. I had a 1976 just like that one. I wish I kept it. 50 mph with a 175 Merc.40 mph with a 115 Yamaha.

Those engines may have a lot of life left in them. Those are very basic two stroke engines and unless they have thousands of hours on them, they could run for many years to come. I see a lot of those 88 Special OMC engines on older hulls of all kinds at the coast and they seem to run forever. They remind me a little of old Toyota pickup trucks. They are no frills, basic, utilitarian models of what they are and will keep running in all manner of disrepair.
The hull is 36 or 37 years old, I would not expect the gelcoat to look new on a boat that age in that price range. The bigger question is how much work would it take to make it look good again?
For $7500-8500, I think it would be a good buy unless the hull is completely shot or the engines have issues.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I noticed something strange in the photos of the stern, like a patch in the dead center, and I have now noticed that the pictures are dated by a year and a half or so. I have been considering putting up my 86 montauk with 2004 yamaha 90 for sale, which I bought from a forum member, to move up a few feet now that I have a wife and child. I was thinking this might be the one, but I don't want to get into a project.

I get over to Crawfordville for work probably once every month or two. Next time I go over there, I will take more detailed photos and share.

looks just like my 1977 but without some teak trim around the sides under the gunnels. Not sure about $9K, but I would consider $7K a good starting point if the motors ran well. If all you are really getting is the hull and trailer, then $3K-$4K range.
For those of you who are interested in this hull, I have really enjoyed the boat, enough room for the 5 in my family, pretty smooth running in rough stuff, and solid as a rock.
