Both engines run, but the Johnson will need some work. The package includes a depth finder, Shoreline Trailer, bimini, onboard fuel tank, autobailer. This boat is currently registered in Wyoming, I am looking for an appraisal for the total package and a break down.

Thank you. WyoWanderer

Depends on what you mean by needs work. A non running engine is worth maybe $500. A 6hp is worth probably about the same or more if mint. If you can't sea trial it I would say about $5,000. Trailer is not worth much as well.
On my 24th Whaler. Currently in the stable: 86 18' Outrage, 81 13' Sport(original owner), 87 11' Sport, 69 Squall(for sale cheap).

This boat is sea trialed, runs great but may have a propeller defect and an altitude adjustment. The Evinrude engine is mint condition and runs like a champ. Maybe a reevaluation with better pictures and explanation. Your time is appreciated.
