Do you have more photos of your boat?
Details of the condition?
Looks interesting!

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

Is this an i/o or inboard? Any interior pictures? I like the clean console, where are the switches?

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

YES MORE PICTURES WOULD BE GREAT....Beautiful Boat!!!

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

This is a Mercruiser I/O,Alpha drive. Switches are under the overhang on the console. I'll get more pictures up....they are pretty large files, but I'll do my best. Keep in mind that the boat was filthy when the pics were taken, after having sat covered for a year. I forgot to mention that there is a custom cover also, as well as a Garmin GPSMAP 182, Furuno FCV-600L color fish finder, Icom and Standard VHFs.
I'd rate the boat in very good condition. I bought it five years ago and only had it in the water 5-6 times, if that. Thanks for the interest

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

OK, here goes. I hope this works. Hope I'm not breaking the rules with all these pics.

The outdrive doesn't look too great because I made the mistake of leaving it in the water for 2 LOUSY WEEKS(!) and the barnacles infested it.

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

what kind of refurb did Scarborough do in 93, stringers, tank transom ? Boat looks really nice , I am definately interested. Thanks

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

I wish there were deals like this when I was looking for a 23cc...Good luck with the sale that is a real nice looking boat with lots of room to fish out of.

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

I don't have any real good info on the refurb. I think it was primarily cosmetic...teak helm, teak toe rail, flared out the gunwale somewhat. My friend whom I bought it from put in the leaning post and tank. According to my friend, he bought it from Scarborough's brother-in-law.

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

I have seen the name before on another Seacraft ad and am uninformed so will ask. Who is "Scarborough" and what is his background with Seacraft boats?

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

Scarborough is a builder of big, high $(is there any other kind?), custom sport fisherman boats out on the NC outer banks. I don't know that he has any particular background with Seacrafts other than what I was told about this one.

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

Sportdog, Nice, original rig. Couple of questions. Is the 140 gal tank '94 vintage and what other components were replaced at that time? Looks like the deck drains to the bilge...No scuppers? Thanks, Steve

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

blackfin mike ,in the picture of engine cover you can see the scupper.

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

Sportdog, Check you PM's...Wags, Thanks for the spot!

Re: 1974 23 SF
 

Rusty, Nice speaking with you. Sounds like a very nice, complete rig. Wish you were a bit closer...All the best with the sale! Steve

Thanks for your interest, Steve.
