I agree with everyone else on here. For one, those are not 420 engines. The valve covers are wrong, intake is wrong and the exhaust is wrong. If they were rebuilt a year ago why wasn't the bilge at least cleaned? If the drives were rebuilt why didn't thay clean them up? The interior looks rough. This spring I bought an '89 Formula 292 for $6000 and the trailer for $2000. There were 200 hours on the boat, 330's and Bravo 1's .All the boat needed was a rub rail and the sun pad reupholsted. Engines were clean, ran great and drives looked like new. As your boat sits I'd say $5-6 K tops. If you can clean it up then more. Right now it looks like a project boat. Projects will never command a high price! Maybe you can part it out for more, but thats a lot of work and when you factor your time you'll be in the hole. Here is what I bought: Before and after.

I agree. The 370hp and 400hp mercs came with finned aluminum valve covers. Those motors are prob 330hp units.
If you intend to buy boats and flip them for a profit, that's cool. But you better do your homework first.

FYI, I don't think all 370s had finned aluminum covers...

370 Steel Covers
FYI, 1980 400 would have used the same rocker cover(75592) ..but with a different decal.. part#41764A 2 for 400 and part#41764A 1 for 370

This was a rotten hull..and maybe 2k worth..if, and if someone want's to go for a "classic" then they will go for a nice cafe or gun and give it a modern spin, and not pay anything for a late 70' rotten hull piece of junk..in these the value is in the power setup and there is non here these account for about 80% of the value so 2k..is probably the most realistic figure here..sorry
