Less then you hope as a project:
fetch


WHERE will matter almost as much as condition, if the motor runs and the trailer's in great shape, it may not be worth more then the motor and trailer are if it's a major project. Might be a big project based on the pix.

Do you know what year Shetland?

In Europe somewhere based on the car plates

Quick search on that rego....
This registration was first registered during the period August 1992 to July 1993.
The registration was first registered in Leicester.
If you are using this plate as a private registration, you can only assign it to a vehicle with a K registration or newer, one that was originally registered after the 1st of August 1992.

But yes, a lot of work involved. I also think 25hp is dramatically underpowered for that size boat. I'd prefer to see around 50 to 70hp on it. (No you will not use more fuel :facepalm: )

Being the UK, any materials are also going to cost you an arm and a leg....

Just re-read your post. Are you looking to buy it, or for a sale price?

JMHO,

From the photos you've posted, the boat looks like a restoration project. The trailer looks like it is newer. The motor sounds good. It's very difficult to give any kind of fair value on the items without much more information Locally (to me), in Northern Ontario, a boat like that would have essentially no value - it may not be possible to sell it. The trailer would be worth $700 or so. The motor may be worth around $800-$1200.

Your local market conditions will determine what it is really worth. With a package like that, I would be inclined to sell the items separately, as any knowledgable buyer will recognize that the boat is seriously underpowered.
