well the motor you have to asume is junk, but you have a nice full transom there for a bracket refit ;)

That trailer is about $2000 new? So what you are doing is getting the trailer & hard top for your money.

If the hull is as good as you say, and you clean it up some, you might get $1500 for your old trailer and shot motor & Hull.

I am sure the guy will go to $2000, that means you will be out of pocket $500 for the trailer & top, not to bad.

Offer him $1500 he doesn't have to know you just want a few things and then dump it.

You can always go up if you want the boat, but you can't go down! Offer $1500 Max $2000 is what I say!

Heck after you get it you just might like the idea of a full transom with bracket, repair it and sell yours ;)

Good Luck!
