Could the pull to the right be from a warped hull? I know that the boat was in a sling and if there is a bowing of the rear of the hull where the transom connects, this could cause lots of different problems. Take a good look at this part of the hull while it is out of the water.
As far as price, I paid $11,000 for a new 2002 170 bass in November of 2002 (The 2003 models had just come out). That was 5 years ago and I got a Suzuki 4S 70 Hp motor as opposed to a 50 hp. I know that used Triumphs are hard to find, but this one may have some serious problems and if you have to replace the lower end of the motor you will be out several thousand dollars. If your hull is bowed, there is no repair short of a new hull. I would offer a low ball price before I took the chances on the boat you are looking at.
