I don't know. It actually looks like it was worth what you paid for it.
two cycle engines seem to be losing their value a bit, because of their
fuel consumption. and finding raw fossile fuel to use in it is harder
to find as well. Gasohol or E-85 will lunch a two cycle out quickly
because the oil won't mix with them,....
Anyhow, that's no what you were asking, so....
I would say it would be worth a little bit more if yoyu did the work
you were stating but I don't think you'd be getting a good pay off if
you wanted to re-sell it.
I know this is a different class of craft than what I posted in
rec.boats.building, but it gave me a lot of in-sight on boat repair and
remodeling compared to economics. Upi might want to study it out ,
theres a lot of value in the posts.
