1975 23 Good starting point either for a restoration or to get back on the water. Boat has twin 160hp inline 6 mercruisers and outdrives (engines turn but have not been started ) comes with Tandem trailer that was used recently for 70 mile trip. Boat has bolsters, Bimini top and w sides, and cabin cushions. We bought this for project with my son but he is going off to Australia for study abroad.

The boat that needs floor and finish work but the cap is solid. The hull is in good shape. The bottom has one coat of paint and is smooth. Basically its all here for either getting up and running again or a full restoration.

best offer.

boat is in New Jersey

Nice- must have been a powerful rig when new....over 300 hp.

This is a great starting point on a 23 with lots of potential.. trailer is practically free

needs a new home.

Thanks

Listed on Ebay
 

Guys

I haven't seen much interest here so i listed it on ebay. Reserve is low and auction ends tomorrow afternoon.. I would rather see one of you guys get it having done 3 seacraft restos i love these boats but i just dont have the time to do this one now.

I hope a Seacraft lover like me gets the boat..

here is my last one pictured below. Its amazing what you can do with these boats

thanks

Jim

I see on eBay there are a couple of tire kickers, actually flat tire kickers. I guess they figure they will get it cheap and for the same money you will deliver......jeeeeez. Good luck!!!!

Re listed on Ebay with a starting Bid of$1500

I have to admit I am surprised someone hasn't snapped this up for a redo. what is a 23 hull with a trailer worth guys?

jim

Unfortunately, most people want the center console model. If it was, it would be gone already. The Sceptre is a great fishing platform but most people have never tried one.

GLWS.

Yep, they certainly are under rated for what they are. After I saw mine completely gutted and cabin off it wouldn't take as much as people think to make a CC out of one. The liner can be adapted as to negate coring reinforcement and simplify the project. The right glass guy could get it done for around $15k including a new transom and floors. In the end you could have one with new power under $50k going full Gucci. If that sounds like a lot, go to a boat show and see what you can get for that kind of money.

Thanks Guys

Thats what i was thinking too.. I know from doing a few your going to redo most of the boat anyway.. i guess i just need to find the right buyer..

Jim

I have found that gutted hulls sell faster than as is. My wife is still hounding me over the load of guts sitting in the back yard. Damn fire bans.

This boat would be a perfect candidate for a "Savage" model (CC with cabin) especially with a solid transom and a floating Hermco bracket with dual 150 hp Yamaha 4 strokes...Mmmm, nice!

Or as a Savage I/O with the engine under the console and a jackshaft to the drive.

These are all great ideas and ones the boat is a great candidate for. Its funny i bought it in part because i love these hulls ( i have redone 3 23's in the past and currently own a 20 lefty Kreh and a 23 inboard) This boat looked destined for the bone yard. I left it in tact and decided not to start ripping into it because i wasn't ready and because i decided to sell.

I guess the right guy will see it and end up with a great hull in many ways much better than my current seacraft 23 which needed more work and was a lot more to buy initially than this one. If it doesn't sell i will redo it eventually.

savage i like
Jackshaft is super cool
bracketed single level floor center is another ideas this is perfect for like a 23 versioin of the lefty Kreh 20 i have.

we will see. thanks for the encouragement. Glad I'm not alone with the disease :)

Wish I lived closer to you guys or had someone to help me through something like that. I would buy it and try to re-do it. I love the idea of giving it a new life but would have no real idea where to start and the idea of twins sorta frightens be a bit. I love SeaCraft's though and it is just a matter of time...
