Cant see engine HP but assuming it's about a 50 I'd say between £1,800 and £2,300.

sorry its a 40 mariner manual tilt

Given that it looks good, but it's an old 40hp engine without PTT (is it electric start?),and the trailer isn't a perimeter frame then I'd be looking at around 1400-£1600.

One like the trailer under this:-

Stiffer,so an easier tow. Even if it's got bunks it's easier to launch and recover to as well as the back of the trailer guides the bow on.

I'm not knocking your engine-those Mariner/Yam 40s are fantastic, but they are old and no frills so it lowers the package value.

Let me put it this way.
Trailer, £150.
Engine £500-600.
Boat and fittings £750-£850ish, if it's as good as the pics show.

Actually, £1600 is probably closer to the mark given the time of year...
