That Thong/Chaps/Jacket thread has some serious leggs-no pun [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. I agree with the 8-15K. That 6K price sounds like it is 3K below market considering that no value is given to the motor(s). Anyone remember the Ebay Auction of the 23SF from Hurricane Jeanne/Francis -Red Dive Boat with the V-8 Rude on a bracket that had the console ripped off and scuffed up sold for over 10K? 6K is a descent initial buy-in.

That Red 23SF had sunk and flipped over as well.... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I bought my 85 23' on the cape 20 months ago for 5K. I redid the decks, replaced the wiring, tank, all hardware, added new electronics and painted the inside myself. I also added a 250 EFI Yami and am very pleased with my investment, which now totals $20K. If you can get a 81 hull with solid decks and a transom that you can get a few years out of before updating for 6K, I would run not walk to get it. Good Luck Dink

Re: Value 23 CC
 

Want2fish - finding a 23 CC in Mas/RI/CT for 6K that needs only a fair amount of work is next to impossible and gone in a hearbeat. I got mine for 12 from Florida. You might find a Scepter for 6K if you are lucky. Dink got a find and had to put a lot of work and $$ into it. I know of one 23 that went for 14K in NB 2 years ago when I was looking and the guy spent another 27K between transom, 4 stroke, top, electronics... Stupid money for them up here. B ut seeing that it's the smallest boat you will often find 30+ out of Chatham chasing big BFT or that a whole lot of the comm bass guys use them, it says something...

Good luck but if you have a line on one at 6K, run, don't walk...

It was sold to a member of the site, yet I think Finster still has it in his yard

Re: Value 23 CC
 

The owner seems like a real honest older gentleman I don't think he would pull a stunt and sell it from under me, but he has said there has been a few guys interested, maybe call tomorrow and firm things up more [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
