Sanger with Boss

[1978 Rogers]

A friend of mine is thinking of selling his Sanger, but not sure what its worth. I thought posting some information in here to get some ideas would help. If any of you could give some input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris.
Here is what Johnny is: (please note that everything was rebuilt in 1998 and has less than 40 hours of running time since the rebuild). Its always been garaged and well taken care of.
'74 Sanger flat bottom (Bubbledeck) V-drive (black)/with Custom VM trailer (chrome fenders)
Drew Backlund (Drew Marine) built the engine. 1969 Nascar Boss 429, intake valves are 2.4 inch, 671 supercharged, duel Nascar 834 Holleys (new). easily 1100HP. The engine block was stamped by Holman and Moody as # 59 when they absorbed Ford's left over race engines in 1970. Engine is equipped with a fuel shut off in case of oil pressure loss. Mahogany floors inlays.
Andy Casale rebuilt the "Casale" V drive (gear box) in 1998, mid 30% overdrive. New prop, new seals on rudder, drive shaft, new gauges.
Seats reupholstered. New tires and rims, bearings and #10 spindle seals on axles.
Thanks for your help

I would probably ask for $50,000 and hold out for $40,000. I'm not saying people will break the door down (especially in this market) but less than that IMO would be a loss.

Thanks for the responses guys anything will help. It's definately one of a kind and yes, he'd like to keep it all together and see it go to a good home.

I think Jerrys got it 40.000.00 5-7K for boat and 30-35 for motor to a collector.

Yup, I wouldn't let it go for less than that. Unless it was to me...

Wow that's a suck boat

[rrrr]

Just using my sometimes convoluted thinking......
Unique Performance was getting close to $300K for their GT500 clones (back when they were in business.... ).
You could probably do a complete makeover of a '69 fastback including the running gear for $110K. Finding the right parts to make the engine correct for the car, another $40K.
The finished Boss 429 clone might bring around $275 or so.....
It would be cool if the boat stayed the way it is.....
