With so many original features missing and a motor that needs a $5-600 repair, I think the seller is a bit optimistic.

Is the bottom have anti-fouling paint?
Is the hull shiny or dull?
Is the boat "clean" or dirty?
Are there any electronics? If so, what and how old?

Photos can help with valuation but are not the end all, b all.

When shopping for my first boat, a Montauk 17, I avoided any candidate that needed an engine or hull repair. Dirty is okay, broken or missing is not.
