FWIW my dad just sold a early 80's 15ft Cajun Special with a 30 mariner for 2k. It needed new carpet and trailer needed rewired.

i dont know if its welded or not "i know its my boat, but i dont know this"
And if it is, I'd knock off AT LEAST $500.00. Personally, I would NEVER own a boat with rivets.

Start at like 3500. You can let your self get "worked down" to 3. I think you have a great little boat,

Check the hull sec#. The last two numbers will give the year it was built. Sec on the motor will tell too!
You might get $1800, but more closer below $1500.

I see boats like that listed for 3-4k

Wow. I was thinking about asking $2500 for my boat, but this thread is making me reconsider. May need to bump it a couple k.

I bought a loaded 17 foot boston whaler with a cover two working engines etc etc for 4k. Same boat on east coast 8k. It just depends. In rural Mississippi worth less, etc. Ask for 2700 and try to get 2-2500. look on local craigslist etc for comps.

A buddy that known my camp with just bought a similar boat to tool around the river in for $2K. It was very well maintained and clean as a pin.

OP, the reason I'm giving you a low price is that the motor is a time bomb. It is most likely a early to mid 1980's motor. Check nada for a price range. But, it depends on how long you are willing to sit on it to sell it. There are always a shite load of tire kickers. 
Also, those size boats have become a dime a dozen in the $1500- $2000 range. Check ads in your area to compare what is what and base your selling price on that. I don't think someone in the market will travel a long distance to buy a boat that old. Your local market is going to be your best bet to sell.

I'd ask on the higher end of whatever you're thinking. A few years back I sold my flat. It as a 16' CC flatboat with a Yamaha 40 and a trolling motor. All the gauges and stuff didn't work anymore. It was about 7 years old. I parked it on the main road in Slidell and asked around $4K for it. Within a couple hours I had a few guys who all wanted it and were racing to get to me with the cash first. I wish I had asked another $500 or so for it. Lots of people looking for little boats like that. When the first guy got here, it wouldn't even start. It had laid up for about a year unused, but started fine when I tested it that morning. He didn't even care that it wouldn't start.
ETA- You can always come down on your price, but you can't go up.

i was offered $2000 and $2200 past year on 2 separate occasions. But i wasnt in the market then. I may be now. I will list at $3200 and go from there.
