Condition matters a lot. Got to check them real carefully for the signs of water intrusion and weakness. It does seem more expensive on west coast, but if you find one in rare excellent condition the price will reflect. Personally, I'd rather find a hull in fantastic condition with old motor at fair price, rather than hull that needs a lot of heavy work. Easier to buy another used outboard.
The more boats you look at, the better educated you'll become to know a winner at fair price when you find it.
