23' SeaCraft CC, 1985 with twin Merc 150s
SeaCraft 23’ Center Console, 1985
Twin Mercury 150’s which start on the first crank. Steering overhauled by Bill’s Outboard earlier this year. New leaning post with 4 rod holders, fixed hand rail, fold-down foot rail, underseat storage box, and cooler fits in the base. T-top is an older KentFab, with a couple of the welds redone this spring. It has 4 rod holders, 3 antenna mounts, 2 Hobbs deck lights, canvas & plastic windscreen and side panels. Rewired by Tom Lemaire of Marine Trading Company this spring. New switch panel fabricated by Ward’s Marine, with the SeaCraft logo and with 8 waterproof rocker switches. Switches and engraved labels all backlit. New Teleflex gauges. New batteries. New Perko battery switches (3). New courtesy deck lights. Garmin color GPS – GPSMAP 182C. ICOM VHF IC-M402S, antenna has new s/s quick release mounting 2 bilge pumps. Teak: along the gunnels, rod holders under the gunnels, front access hatch and trim, trim around the instrument panel, and the trim on rear hatches (all of the teak needs refinishing). Needs a new set of access doors for the footwell area of the CC (have a quote from a hatch manufacturer for a starboard/plexi solution) Outriggers. Have smoke windshield that is not currently installed but goes with the boat. New bottom paint and freshly buffed & waxed. Trailer is a tandem axle EZLoader, was redone last fall by a local welding shop who knows boat trailers, beefing up some of the supports, etc. Hull ID: SICF3041H485 I bought this last year on an impulse. I ran it a bunch last fall (see below), but have only gotten out this summer on July 4th weekend. With a two year-old daughter, a one year-old son, and an ever lengthening honey-do list, time on the water is not happening. The boat was a swimmer after a storm on Martha’s Vineyard, so I bought it cheap and put a bunch of money into it over the winter. The previous owner had a local shop do triage (motors, fuel, etc) at that time, and then I had Bill’s Outboard go over it last fall. I had assumed the motors would be dead, but on the advice of Alan at Bill’s Outboard, I put a bunch of hours on the motors before winterizing them, and they continue to run strong. I'm new to SeaCraft and powerboats in general, and I have been given a wide variation of opinions on the value of it. For now, I'll ask $15,900. The pictures, by the way, do not show it at its best -- most of that dirt washes away, I just didn't have the chance before taking the photos. The leaning post is brand new & the cushions are nice and white. The deck is not new, but it does get a lot cleaner than that! |

Engines are also 1985's, I believe. Have not had the compression tested. Any other questions, please let me know. Thanks.

Re: 23' SeaCraft CC, 1985 with twin Merc 150s
How is the deck and transom, any soft spots. A compressions check would be very helpful, but even so thats a decent amount of money for 20 year old engines. What is the fuel capacity and have the tank(s) been replace or inspeted recently.

Re: 23' SeaCraft CC, 1985 with twin Merc 150s
Most 23's without power go for around $10,000 or more. I think this a great deal for someone to use for a couple of seasons and then repower with new or slightly used motors. Good luck selling her, but I'm sure you won't need the luck!

Go to "my home" on the top right of the screen and you have a private messaging system that works like email. Members use this to discuss things they don't want the whole community to see such as buying and selling things.

Re: 23' SeaCraft CC, 1985 - price lowered
I know what private messaging is for. Thanks. I was just wondering if that quote means what I think it means. I suppose if the owner didn't want the whole community to see it, he wouldn't have written it in the original description of the boat.

Swimmer as in yes, it was partially submerged. I'm told that waves came over the transom when it was tied in the slip and eventually the battery for the bilge pumps failed. And with the twin Merc's on the stern you can picture what happened next. That's why the engines needed all the triage work, and the batteries got replaced, etc. I decided to have it completely rewired to avoid problems down the road, since the fuse panels were getting pretty corroded anyway, etc. Hence all the new wiring, new switch panel, new battery switches, etc. That is also why the Merc guy told me go out and put a LOT of hours on the motors before putting the boat away for the winter, which I did. And they both started on the first crank this spring and are still running strong.
But the price I'm asking reflects zero value on the motors. They could last a few more seasons, or they could die tomorrow, who knows? But what you're buying is the hull (which is in beautiful shape), the t-top, the rewiring job, the new electronics, the new leaning post, etc. A bunch of the work I had done was not necessary, I just wanted to have it done -- the old leaning post for example was perfectly usable, it just looked ugly and had no back rest or handrail. I also had the steering completely overhauled so that it is much smoother and more effortless than it was. Any more questions, just let me know. By the way, I was wrong (ignorant) on the "outriggers" listing -- they are actually downriggers that go with the boat. Can you tell I'm new at all this? |

Re: 23' SeaCraft CC, 1985 - price lowered
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Things are busy. I did sell the boat though. Thanks for your interest. At that price, it got lots of interest and sold very quickly.
