23cc what is it worth?
 

I have an 1985 23' center console i purchased a few years back.
It was an original inboard which was converted to an bracketed outboard before i purchased it. So it has an inclosed transom as well as some kind of u shaped bracket with an ox-66 250 yamaha. It is in real good shape but needs a few projects such as sorting out or replacing the wiring from the original factory wiring and some plumbing work. I will try and post some pictures.
The reason I a selling it is after a year and half of back problems and already one surgery without any improvement it is time to get her to someone how will really enjoy her. I have taken the boat once in a year and half and could not take it. Left the inlet and was back in 10 minutes later balled up in the corner!

The boat has a t top, leaning post, float on trailer with torsion axles, Garmin gps and fish finder.

Check out Miami's Craigslist, or the WPB list.... These two CL have more Seacrafts listed then any other place.You will get a very good idea what the market is going for these days.

List it here when you decide ;)

Thank you
I have as well as boat trader but I am only finding 20' as well as the cabin model.
Are there that few center consoles?

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

I am only guessing. The 23 is a popular boat. They get snapped up fast if they are priced right.

Keep watching. One day there will be 10 of them on at the same time.

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

Would 15k be a reasonable asking price?
It does need some work, but that is to me.
It can be taken out today without any problems, but I always wanted it to be as nice and complete as so many on here!
I wish I could find someone local that could do the glass work to build the compartments and live wells then go ahead and get one the nice brackets From . I guess in life you just have to pick your projects! And not have to many!!

Show us some pics!

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

Did you try Boats.com? They have a half dozen 23' from less than 10k to 50K. Check it out.

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

Here is the way to do it. List it here or on C/L. Put it up for 15K. If you sell it great. If you don't get one bite you're to high. Start dropping the price by $500. Until you scream or you have 10 phone calls with in the first hour.

That is supply and demand economics in the boat world. :D

PS you must post pictures, no one is willing to buy any more with out seeing first.

Does anyone have a recommendation for the best place to post the pictures from?

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

$10k????? Holy poop Batman!!!!

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

ASKING PRICE is NOT $10K.

That boat is on www.boattrader.com and is listed for $39,995

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

I did not see this on boat trader. It was listed someplace else for 10k. I thought WOW!

Are you the owner?

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

NO, I am not the owner. Just know the boat you were referring to. IF it was $10K, I would have been the owner in a heartbeat!

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

Ok, here are pictures, I am hoping!

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

Rlbol,
That's a nice looking boat. I think it could bring close your asking price in the right market. Island Trader's advice sounds logical to me. Post your objective value and see how the phone rings...

Island Trader, I think that boat you mention from CL is a scam for sure...I think that's what bfox76 was getting at.

If it sounds too good to be true...

I got scammed on a BW Revenge 25 (hey it could have been a good deal)a while back and as recently as last week on a a cherry old Dodge Ram 2500. In both cases the vehicle info was probably stolen from some other listing and in both cases they were both "sellers" were citing urgency to sell because they and their Guard division were getting shipped to Iraq.

They were using real names of real servicemen and legitimate divisions.
I would love to roundup some of these scammers, and send them over to the units the claim to be in... :mad:

Re: 23cc what is it worth?
 

Thank you
I wish I had the time,ability and no back problems to make the boat the way I would like.

There are a lot of scams on craigslist
If you can't go look at it and if they say they will ship it for free, RUN
