You have a 3227......another way to find out the value of what you have would be to get a survey done, then you will have a good idea because then they will value the boat and inspect it to find an issues.

Re: Newby needing advice
Personally, I would not get a survey done unless you're planning on keeping it and need an insurance appraisal. I'd just look for similar boats on the sites mentioned (as well as craigslist in an expanded footprint of ~500 miles). That's not an "aft cabin, as you would not have the cockpit aft area (standing area at the stern), but a raised platform with the aft cabin underneath it.
If you're going to post it for sale, it might make sense to have someone local detail it. Get some nice polish and buffing on that fiberglass and it will clean up to almost-new condition. A thorough cleaning on the interior can make it pretty appealing too.

IMO, the idea of the survey for this poster is to learn what he has so a prospective buyer can't put one over on him, it is ok if you know your boats like you do but this may not be the case here given the circumstances, that is why I suggested it. Of course the ultimate value of this boat could be fairly low or much, much higher depending on structural condition for example stringers/decks. I wish him the best of luck.
