Second Gen Appreciation Post

This thing has moved me in an out of 3 apartments since college and hauled random shit in between! 2019 WT 3.6L V6 CCSB bought certified pre-owned (torque converter shudder fixed) in Feb 2024 for $23k with 84k on the clock. I’ve driven 40k since and only replaced two VVT solenoids in addition to 5k oil changes and tires. I’m planning on a coolant flush, full brakes and brake fluid in the fall. Doing belt and tensioner this weekend (Looks fine but I don’t have a record of the last change so I’ll just hold on to the current belt as a backup, parts were $50 on RockAuto)

Mods:
-Black emblems Day 1 (eBay)
-Rock sliders (marketplace)
-Got a set of black rims from marketplace and traded the noisy Duratracs for all season firestones (thank you Costco). The most off-roading this thing sees is the occasional drive-on beach.
-DIY 18% tint all around besides windshield (had a brow but had to replace windshield recently).
-Started out with a tri-fold tonneau cover, traded this past winter for a camper shell +$500. Love the roof racks for skiing but it’s heavy and I want the pick-up profile back. If I hold onto the cap I’d like to do a black vinyl wrap to match. Considering an overland rack in the future for the best of both worlds. Any suggestions?
-Also bought the Decked storage drawer from marketplace. Still debating how I feel about it but it works well with the cap and fits all my tools and roadside shit that I carry around.

What do you guys think?

What would you pay for this?

1995 Boston Whaler Montauk 17
2005 Evinrude E-Tec 75HP ~250 hours salt water
1997 Load Rite trailer

Located on Long Island. Thinking about passing it on next season. Serviced and flushed regularly (most recently spark plugs, VST, fuel filter and water separator, shift linkages, water pump). I’ve done a lot of my own work like adding Bluetooth radio with 4 speakers, blue LED courtesy lights, depth finder, and 22 gal Moeller fuel tank. I also repainted the entire engine after the shop cracked the original cowling (last pic). I plan on doing fresh bottom paint at the end of the season. Besides that the gel coat and upholstery is visibly aging.

What can I get for this to the right buyer?
