    Value of 1987 24' w/ bad engine

    just checked nada and the hull is valued around 4500 to 5000. If I was your friend I would have it checked out and definitely figure how much He is willing to put into it.By the time Hes done a few hundred either way for the hull is not going to matter in the grand scheme of it.
