Things have been a bit mental for trailer boats (and most other "toys") since covid, but they are starting to cool off. Asking prices are still beyond what most people would consider reasonable, and a few desperate souls are still paying through the nose for boats - but they tend to be well maintained and more desirable models. Something like an old stabi with a 2s tohatsu shouldn't be in high demand (unless it is a steal). Don't look at prices from last summer (being the peak) or even six months ago as an example of what that boat is worth now.

At a guess, I would say around $5k. That being made up of $3k for the motor if it is new and in good condition, $1500 for the trailer and bugger all for the hull. My 2c

Cant really argue with that.
Like anything if it looks rough and neglected then it is rough and neglected.
Nothing wrong with Tohatsu outboards though. A look under the cowling will tell its own story though.
