Stew is probably on the right track about donating it but if it needs that much work your write off is going to be minimal to say the least. And $150 may even be a high figure if you were to try and sell it. Why? We sold our 1989 (28 yrs newer) 25' Chaparall 2550SX cuddy cabin in 2004 for $8900. This boat was boatel kept and not only did the boat look brand new but so did the 454 Merc. Not a bit of rust on her at all and ran like a top. The tandem axle trailer was "weathered" but in sound shape as she was rarely used. Just throwing this in so you can compare the two.
You're talking about a boat that's now 37 years old, total interior restoration and some fiberglass work needed and an engine that is to say the least questionable.
Try to donate it but don't expect much of a write off at all...not at all. If you try to sell her make it as is/best offer and take the 1st one that comes your way.

You would be better donating it to a charity and getting a tax write off.
If you sold it maybe 150 for parts.
