You need a trailer. You need a newer engine with controls and gauges if you plan on running offshore. If you don't have to pull up the deck or replace transom and the hull is good shape then I would hazard a guess that its probably worth between 3 and 7 grand. Around here that engine could be resold for about 1000 or 1500 if it checks out OK. It would end up on a crab boat.
I wouldn't include another person's rewiring job into the value of the boat. Its nothing personal. I just assume I will have to redo it myself. The vhf is probably OK for a while yet but that 5 year old GPS may need replacing soon.
