Thanks for your comments. I was ignorant of the reputation that these engines have aquired. My experience with them is that they are quiet, powerful, instant starting, fuel efficient, and problem free. I was perturbed when the backruptcy voided the third year of the warranty, but that turned out not to be an issue. I can also understand the effects of a bad reputation. I have friends that still won't have a Mercury on their boat at gunpoint.

So, to the point: How much is the boat worth without the engines? The NADA guide only lists SeaCrafts built after '98. This site has prices ranging from $7500 for a sunk hull to $45 K with a single 230.
