Stuck in a weird position with my boat advice sought

I am running an 18' Xpress sc, about 10 years old. Boat is for sale now.

In November I took the boat to a local trolling motor place as mine kept failing. The trolling motor shop rewired from battery to bow panel. The first time I took the boat out after getting it back, the motor failed on me. Had to take it back to the repair shop which they were very good at getting it right (replaced wiring from head to panel on bow). This got my trolling motor working for exactly two trips. One trip my damn battery died..replaced battery, next trip out the batter doesn't work. Confirmed with multi-meter I have power to the front.

So here I am without my trolling motor working again. The motor is a 10 year old Riptide so likely it's time for replacement. Stings a little because I just dropped several hundred getting it wired up. I can't find a suitable replacement as they don't make the 46 thrust w/ 45" shaft that I can find. Side bar, they were supposed to fix my gauges and they aren't working either. Speedometer never worked and gas gauge worked for approximately 1 hour.

So all of this backstory brings me to my dilemma.

I want to get rid of the boat, but don't think it will sell without a working trolling motor and my gauges only working even though boat is in great shape.

Here's where I think my options are:

1) Say screw the existing trolling motor and upgrade it. Adds a few new holes to the boat, but gets me back fishing. Wasn't keen on dumping more money into the boat, but I feel like I have to and maybe regroup and try to sell after season. Assuming I could get something back for the TM in a sale.

3) Try to sell my boat as is condition for a bit less than planned to get out of it and use the money I'd spend on new TM and electronics towards a new boat.

I guess what I am asking is, how likely is it that I will sell with a few issues with the boat.

I want to get on the water as spring is coming up quickly, just struggling with where to go.

Any thoughts?
