It is all relative. If all you ever had for a boat was an absolute scow, then a barn find with ferns growing out of the transom might be the mint boat in excellent condition you've been searching for..
I got a little mad when I drove a few hours one way to look at a Legend bass boat (Bullet Copy). There wasn't one square inch of gelcoat that wasn't crazed. Hull repairs were made with matt and on the outside without any signs of sanding, or prep for that matter. Carpet peeling up everywhere, no seats, no motor and floor was soft..trailer was a painted steel trailer and was nearly rotted in two.. BUT It had a jack plate, hot foot and hydraulic steering that was nearly worth what he was asking for the entire combo. I mean, the boat and trailer was a complete POS, the value was there in the parts and pieces. I don't blame a guy for knowing exactly what his stuff is worth..I just hated to make the 4hour round trip to discover this to be the case.. LOL! Live and learn.
