How much do you think this is worth?

[Jinfoot]

Thinking about selling a boat and trying to get some idea of what i should be asking for it, without having a decent pic of it just yet it's a 12 Foot Sears & roebuck riveted alloy in good condition on a basic trailer with the hook and winch thing to wind it up, trailer is in ok condition but i plan to re paint it. Any ideas what these are worth?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a picture to post?

I will have one of it on the trailer tonight, but here is the best one i have of it right now, were not selling the motor. Im sure you can imagine what the trailer is like its just one of those real basic frames.

Ok finally got one, do you think i should work on the trailer or does it really matter for selling it? my friend who asked me to do it for him just needs a bigger boat ( Jaws! ).

HI jin,

I purchased a very similar boat a few years back. It had no leaks, no trailer, 2 built in seats with floatation and some oarlocks. I paid 500 for it and felt that was a little high priced compared to what other boats were selling for. (I bought it anyway) Hope this helps a little.

Cool thanks, put it up on craigslist today and had some hits for 400, think i am going to see if i can hold out for 550+ and toss in a electric motor, seems fair right? when i posted i didn't put a price as we had no idea of what it was worth just put "Taking offers"

That sounds pretty reasonable.

hi

if the trailer has working lights, decent bearings, spare tire and the boat does not leak and you toss in an electric motor ask 800 to start.
