1976 23' Inboard - SOLD
 

$25 PayPal Transaction ID: 37J55099S5190112A

It is time to sell the 23' SeaCraft. I don't like surprises when I go to look at things to purchase, so here is everything. It cruises at about 21 knots in the local bay with the current power. It is a 1976 Potter SeaCraft Center Console with an inboard 351. It runs fine currently, but it does leak oil so will need a repower in the near future. I honestly don’t know the hours or age of the motor, as this was my father's boat that he bought used and he passed away. It has a 3 blade prop on it right now, but I also have the 4 blade to go with it. It has a small but decent gps/depth finder on it (Garmin GPSmap 178C Sounder) and a vhf radio. The AM/FM radio does not work. It has a mount for a downrigger mounted on the starboard side and I have the downrigger for it. We redid the transom a few years ago, and it is solid. My father was planning on painting it but never had a chance before he passed, so you can still see a few resin colored spots where we filled in some of the needless thru hull’s in the transom when we replaced it and added the custom swim platform, and it is done right. There are 2 bilge pumps on the boat and it has shore power. We recently had one of the aluminum gas tanks replaced. The upholstery will need to be redone at some point. I have the original combing pads that I was planning to have reupholstered and reinstalling in the future that go all the way around the inside of the boat. It sits on a Galvanized dual axel bunk trailer that does not have a title. It also has a cover. I just power washed the bottom before the pictures, that is the reason for the look of the bottom.
Asking price $12,000.
Located in Ellicott City, MD

I tried to cover everything but am open to questions.
Thanks,
Chris

Planning to winterize this weekend. If you would like to see the boat before that is completed let me know.

Is the transom solid? Willing to negotiate on price?

The transom is very solid. I am open to conversations. Thank you for your interest.

Could I see a few pictures of the engine and the running gear. Also can you visibly see the oil leak??

Not sure why inboards are not in strong demand.
25k for an outboard.
They sit like ducks.
They slog through the slop.
Parts are cheap.
They sip fuel on the troll.
Nice clean transom.

its all about whats good for your area, good water, shallow water,I/O, IB, OB,yea they take the same draft, we know...that.I like em all....

I will try to get more pics this weekend. I have not seen the leak.

Thank you gofastsandman. We love the aspects of the inboard. Just need something with a little more room/seating for the growing family.

FAS, I like them all too!

How long is that extension to the raised area of the front deck had thoughts of that for my 23

Sorry for the delay on the pics monkcapt, I was down with the flu over the weekend and getting to the boat before dark these days during the week has been hard. Plus, the boat has the full cover on it, so I have to remove that to take the pics of the motor and then put it back on, and that is not a one man job.

I so want this boat

Martin, let's make it happen. :)

Not a problem just a long ride to look at something unseen. Thanks whenever you get to it

I completely understand. I will work on it this weekend.

Here you go monkcapt. Let me know if you have any questions.

flgolds, I am having issues with my private messages. Feel free to email me directly at cmiles4@aol.com.
Sorry,
Chris

Weather is turning!

I love the inboards. I'd have a fleet of them if I could afford it.

I really like the cover you have. Custom? or bought somewhere? Info please.

Blue engine makes me think Ford - riser elbows look like mercruiser - what is the power?

Distributor is in front....I'm thinking small block Ford.

Correct, 351 Ford. Not sure about the cover, as it came with it when we bought it. I will see if there are any sort of tags on it and pass the info along. Thanks for the interest!

Sold

The boats sweet! Can't wait to get some fishing time with it! Thanks again!
