Value is dependent on condition & originality. Prices can be all over the place.
Look for bad gas tanks (or ones that have not been replaced yet).
Look for rotted frames & transom cores. Also look for the original deck harware & Donzi rear logo plates.. These are all pricey & tough to find items. Only some reproduction items are available anymore.
Also if it has a volvo check to see if the boots are torn (they usually ruin the gimble bearing if bad) & if the trim or tilt works. They are pricey items to repair if they are bad.
If you get one that needs work or needs to be restored feel free to give me a shout.. We regularly restore these..
