I must say your boat is super clean and you need to factor in the new motor and the extra work that you have done.
My boat is not in the NADA site and what I have to do in this situation is search "boats for sale", make and model and see what other people are asking for their boats. Do a google search and you may find a boat owner in the same situation as you.

Hope this helps,
Mike

The bad news:
Used boat market is flooded right now, economy is in the toilet and fuel is going to skyrocket in the coming years.
You have an old boat with a gas engine and an old out-drive.

The good news:
Your boat looks to have low usage, not fished hard and is clean and in good shape!


The reality:

Look for similar boats on yachworld and other publications, see what they are asking...expect to get 50-80% of that number.
Be realistic, not many people will call you these days on old boats with gas I/O's. If you have a lot of hours on a gas engine consider it worthless, even if it runs well. It is actually taking away from the value of the boat in some cases.

A similar style boat in my area (it was a searay with twin I/0's and had a trailer with lots of extras) and sold for around 7K I think.

as always, "your mileage will vary"
