    Boat Question

    What do you thing a 20x60 aluminum boat would be worth. I have found one an older one that has a 40 horse mariner, side steer, gun & Storage boxes, double axle galv trailer. Motor runs good. He hasnt put a price on it, so I am trying to get a good idea on what it could be worth. Thanks
