A very early Wooden Sanger with Hemi. Sanger is still in business today in the same Fresno California shop.

Hard to say, there's a limited pool of buyers out there for this sort of toy - especially one that only has neutral and go. That's a-go-go power baby!
Two more days on the auction. Let's see if he gets his reserve but my guess would be twice the current bid.

The most popular of Sangers was the "Bubble deck" which came out around 1974. The bubble deck name came about due to the shape of the cockpit dash like this one for example.

Last year there were around 6 on E-Bay at the same time and the average price was around the $5000. mark for them. They all seemed quite cheap to buy I thought at the time. I believe all of them included the trailor but they were not as nice as this one. I like yours better as its got the big Olds engine in it.

For $5K they likely did not have the engine in them.

I hope he gets a good price for that boat as there's been a lot of work and money gone in to maintaining this one for sure. Thats not even close to the cost of building that engine actually let alone the rest of the boat. Beautiful paint job as well which is also worth a small fortune by itself.
