1952/54 twin 25 hp Johnsons

[Bob Ware]

Guys,
I have an 'older' friend with either a '52 or '54 16' Holmes wooden boat with a pair of 25 hp Johnsons. The motors haven't been run in 25-30 years but ran great the last time he used the boat. It's been sitting in his garage since and he is now beginning to get rid of his 'stuff' and I'm trying to help him where I can.
I know this is a loaded question but does anyone have any idea of what something like would be worth? The boat is in good condition but naturally needs a bunch of cleanup and I'd assume the motors would need some carb work, etc. to run again. Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks,
Bob
