Re: Appraisal on 1977 Newport PICTURES

Give me your appraisal of a selling price IN CALIFORNIA for a 1977 NEWPORT 17 boat, with a 1993 Evinrude 70-HP engine and a 10-HP auxiliary engine on a trailer.
[Moderator's note: all the photo-images of the boat have been cropped to remove the sky, the ground, and beautiful tile and slate work. Those elements will not affect the appraisal of the boat, engine, and trailer. The original size of the boat in all images remains the same. Please do not upload images of boats that consist of about one-third sky on the upper part, one-third ground on the lower part, and only a partial view of the boat in middle 1/3 of the image. To photographs objects that are much wider than they are tall, please rotate the camera to the landscape format. ]
Seller's Description
The condition of the hull on a scale of ten where ten is better than new, in my opinion is 9.5.
The 35-year-old boat has had only "light" use in the 20-years since I have owned it.
Engine cylinders had measured peak dry pressure reading of 105-PSI. A leak-down test showed a 20-percent-decrease in cylinder compression [that is, a decrease to a pressure to 84-PSI from 105-PSI over over an unspecified period of time]. The engine has just now been professionally serviced. In my estimation the engine runs perfectly.
The boat has a Wm. J. Mills & Co. Bimini Top and a cover.
The electronics are a VHF Marine Band radio and a SONAR.
Trailer running lighting needs replacement.
