Re: Value 23 CC

Re: Value 23 CC
I have no idea what the market place is up there, but here in Florida, between the hurricanes, the winter-time, and whatever, it's a buyers marketplace. I have looked at 3 boats in the last month for under 6K. 2 20's and a 23. 2 had newer motors on them with less than 200 hours. I think in another month or 2 there will be more on the market.
As far as condition, unless they have been restored, all of the ones I have looked at have wet hatches and transoms. I use a pretty good moisture meter, and it seems to go with the territory in a wood transom that is over 20 years old. Hope you find the one your looking for. |
Re: Value 23 CC
Lenny-
Since you are passing on it can you share the info on the boat? tx |
Re: Value 23 CC
Sure
The boat was an 81 23' CC twin 150 Rudes runs but down on compression in a cylinder, the other has a blown cylinder, T top, leaning post, 1980 Aluminum bunk trailer that has only been used to launch and load 3-4 times a year, the boat was described as an 8 out of 10 for hull sides and bottom, and a 4 for the inside. It was listed on the boat trader for 8K if you need any more info feel free to shoot me a message also will have the written survey report in a few days. Did I miss anything |
Re: Value 23 CC
JohnB maybe you can share the details of the 23 you have found?? I am not afraid of a wet transom it is the fact that people want 8K for problem boats! For 8K and no power I would expect to get a decent boat that could use some elbow grease. Of course I am speaking in terms of older boats

Re: Value 23 CC
Is this the one with the Single spreader Outriggers?

Re: Value 23 CC
The 23 was a CSY Sceptre, the 20s were potter SF ccs.
It appears you are looking for a 23' Potter CC, so I guess it wouldn't fit. If I see anything I will PM you. IMHO, on the restored 23's, they aren't getting what their asking for them, because most of the pricier ones are still for sale in Florida. I am looking for a CSY or Tracker 23' if you come across one. Either a rebuildable CC, or a cheap Sceptre, dosen't matter, I am going to redo it. |

Re: Value 23 CC
After having my 20 for 8 months and having to do a paint job and other things to it ( I redid the transon 5 months ago) I may just look for a 23 and go thru the efforts on that instead of the 20.
I saw a real nice 23 that the outside is a 10 the inside (floor) is a 6 no softs spots but a real lame job on the paint. He claims to have redone the tarnson and it looks like it. I checked the serial # on the transom and its CSY series Nice trailer nice t top electronics also. He's asking 17,500 but he may deal a bit. I also had a buddy tell me about a 23 down in Key largo that he says is in good shape, I may go down and see that one if I can get a firm location on it. But it comes with a pair of 86 mercs 175's, that looks and runs good, but you never know. And I could not find the serial #'s to confirm true year and HP And that is what is holding me up |
Re: Value 23 CC
want2fish,
Let me know what your looking for in model/years/price/condition After thinking about it, I don't think there are more coming on the market than before, I just don't think the ones there are moving right now. Gas prices have really stopped older boat sales, unless they have newer fuel efficient motors. But what do I know, I am one of those Tracker guys (j/k) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. |
