That would be me. :cool: I have a 89 SeaCraft 23WA w/89 200 Merc. Boat has been stored inside except when in the water fishing. The engine still runs very strong and well maintained. Not much to check except for the transon, I don't think you will have the worries that the east coast people have w/rot unless the boat has spent the last 15-16 years sitting outside uncovered. I will run my 200 until it dies as there would be much value in trade when I repower.

I just bought a package as well, you just have to break down each part of the deal as to what its worth. As said they don't want to add anything for the motor or very little and I would agree, then do the trailer, and your left with putting a value on the hull, with any added repairs.

Gary,

Thank you for the input. I will look at the boat on Friday. This is the second or third time someone has mentioned the transom. As to the motor, yes we must run until they drop in that the repower cost is significant for a 200 or 225. When a decision or deal is made i will certainly let everyone know. Again thank you.

ESD,
I have done some work and have the numbers. Let's hope that the seller agrees with my math or at least part of the calculations.

All the best

There has never been that many SeaCrafts in this area. Hawley's Marine had them for 1 year, they only had 4 23's, I bought 1 and was told the others were sent to Alaska. They then went bankrupt. There was a 19-21 CC for sale up here a year or so ago, don't know if it was sold or not. I'll keep you in mind.

Re: another hull
 
Gary,

Thank you.

My goal is to take an open hull up the inside passage to Alaska in 2010. The Seacraft looks like a good hull for that trip. Do you agree? Is there another open hull that could prove to be a logical choice?

Re: another hull
 
That is a pretty gutsy trip even for a SeaCraft 23WA. There are some real nasty streches of water, even for the inside. I've talked with a couple of people who have made the trip in something a 24 Bayliner. I have a friend who has had his 24 Bayliner as far as Desolation Sound, but he was tagging along with a 30ft Whaler and a 38ft Bayliner. Georgia Straits can be nasty because the wind funnels down thru there. I have been as far as Campbell River. Also fished out of Prince Rupert, but drove up there to board a boat. :o

Trayder (our administrator) has a video that he got from Mr. Potter of two SeaCrafts that make a trip from California to Mexico. I'm sure you would have no problem if you planned your trip well.
