I know your question is about value. So I will share my thoughts on it first. I would say if the boat was rigged with a 150 merc xr6, it is about a $7,500 boat in good shape as described. That Merc is about 3k so the boat is worth about 4500. The Johnson is worth $1,000 at most in my opinion. I would say $5500 is a fair value. It has to have a good trolling motor.I buy, fix up, and sell also. It is a hobby, but I enjoy it. I completely rig the boats myself and I am very detailed oriented with 25 years of tournament fishing. I have some rules of thumb for buying. One of those rules of thumb – absolutely no Johnsons or old evinrudes. Boats with them are very difficult to sale. Even if it is a good deal, I stay away from them because there is not usually enough money to derig, rerig, and buy a merc.Now I do own a 1998 Aluminum Basscat A-18 and it has a 98 Johnson 90hp – the crossfire version. It is a very reliable motor. But it will hurt me when I sale it. Just a fact.Hope that helps!
