Replacement cost does NOT equal market value.

I don't blame the seller for what he claims, but the reality is the trailer is worth $1500-$2000, the motors are worth $1500-$2000 for the pair and the downriggers are worth $550 *for the pair*

That leaves a value of over $4,000 on the hull alone at his asking price and that's not happening.

The hull's worth really depends on its condition and it would have to be seen in person to gauge that, but the photos and description leave me with little hope.

As a point of comparison, I have a brother-in-law back East who bought an Outrage 21 like this on a galvanized trailer with a sick, but repairable Evinrude 150 from the late 1980s. He paid $2250 for the package and it still has its original gel coat today, though the boat has been extensively worked on and repowered.
