I was wondering what the value of a 1977 trimate III is. Here is the history of the boat..... My uncle bought the boat new in 77 In 87 he put a new 225 johnson ob motor. About 6 years ago a good freind of the family bought it and put a new transom and floors also replaced the wood in the seats and put new carpet in, he had the gel coat touch up also. He took it out and burnt a piston up replaced the piston and checked everything in the motor. In the 6 yrs he has had it he has put it in the water 3 times it just sits there collecting dust. As it sits today it has 320 hrs on the motor since 87. I am wanting to buy the boat just not sure of the value the boat is a great looking boat especially for its age i wish i had a pic of it but is orange and black. I am trying to talk him into getting rid of it he is talking to his wife and seeing if he can sell and then he will give me a number. Whats do yall think a fair price would be on the boat. i live in southeast texas and want a checkmate badly but they are rare in this area. thanks
