Was given a challenger1800 that's been sitting in a pasture for a few years trying to figure out the best option... hate to just push it off the trailer at a landfill. Figured y'all might have some ideas.
I think it is too far gone to be worth repairing. It burnt out the oil injection pump and subsequently a cylinder. The block was sleeved and is sitting in my garage, I'm guessing this is of some value but not sure how much. I believe it's a 210hp.
The hull is solid and gauges are there but all the upholstery is gone.
The trailer is galvanizes but would need new leaf springs.
What do y'all think? Worth parting out, selling as is or just pay the $35 to push it off at the landfill?

No brainer.. Parts for the boats are somewhat hard to impossible to come by. I would not just scrap it.. The gauges, shift levers, cables (if they are good), hatches, hatch struts (if they are good) etc etc. The leaf springs are CHEAP,,, a new set of 3500 pound will be like 50 bucks from eTrailer..

You have many easy to sell parts there. In the end, you will scrap the hull most likely. Unless someone simply buys it all from you..
