Value of 1984 22" VL485 Bass Boat

[phofer]

I have a 1984 VL 485 22" Hydorsport bass boat with tandem wheel trailer that was my late husbands. The trolling motor doesn't work (I have no idea what's wrong with it) and the lower unit of the 220 Merc has been stolen. I had some problems with the motor before the lower unit was stolen and was told it had bad compression. I think the motor is a wash! But the boat has always been well maintained and the hull is in good shape. The upholstry is fair. It needs new carpet and two of the locker lids have begun to rot and need replacing. It also has a foot throttle and jackplate. The two live wells all gauges were working well when it was last used. Since I know little to nothing about this and they don't make them anymore, I was hoping someone would be able to give me an idea what it might be worth? I have photos but cannot figure out how to attach??

Grateful for your advise if any,
Pam

well it sounds like you will have to pay someone to take it off your hands

I tend to agree. It honestly is not worth a whole lot without an engine. The tires are probably old and will need replaced. I feel if you can get a couple hundred bucks out of it, you will be doing good.I am saying this cause the trailer might be worth a bit, but someone will have to pay to dispose of the hull carcass. Good luck
