Really nice boat and a fair price!

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

Hi Sanzo: Thanks for the compliment. I noticed on your profile you have a 73-23. Was that one of the earlier 23's made?
Clark

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

She's a beauty. The first production year for the 23 was '72.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

Hey guys: I'm heading the first of May for my last family trip to the Fl. Keys with my Seacraft. The best offer gets you not only the boat and trailer but a bag or two of fresh Mahi!!!!
Thanks, Clark
P.S. I'll also include a couple of lobster diving spots in Fl. Bay.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

New asking price: $24,000

Hey guys: I just finished my last trip to the Keys in the Sea Craft. I had a great time, and it performed as good as ever. I am anxious to sell the boat, and would appreciate any interest. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks, Clark

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

New asking price: $22,000

I feel that someone will get a very good buy. What do you guys think out there? Thanks.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

OK, everybody agrees this is a great boat at a fair price (althoug 690 hours on a two cycle engine concerns me). But is not selling. So, here is an idea: I'll go into it 50/50 with a guy in FL. Let me use it 4 months a year up north and then I'll trailer it half way down for my partner to use the next 8 months. Every month we'll kick into a maintenance fund say $500 each. Shortly, we'll have enough for a new four cycle.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added

Great Boat for a fair price!
Some body is going to very happy buying this boat.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added

I agree, Great Year, Great Boat, Great Price!! It has been taken well care of and has many upgrades. You guys that are looking for a Potter 23'; here's your chance [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

BTW: I ran to Walkers Cay (105 miles one way)out of West Palm Beach along side this boat a few years back. The two SeaCrafts looked real sweet running together [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added

I think its a very good deal myself-, dont understand why no-one looking for a 23 hasnt jumped on it yet- !!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added

Thanks guys for your encouragement and support. No one knows our boats better than Sea Crafters as yourselves. I have already received several calls recently so possibly something will be in the works soon. I'll let you all know how she ends up. Thanks again.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

Is she still for sale? She's a beauty.Let me know.

Re: 1979 23 ft. Seacraft for sale (Pictures Added)

Hey oldfielder,
