'84 23 Screaming deal...no?
 

I have no connection to the boat but, at $19k, have the feeling I am missing something.

There is an '84 23' with a closed transom (actually, looking at the cap I think it once was in IB or an I/O), a bracket and twin 150 ox66s for $18,900.

The boat is not perfect, but looks pretty clean. Obviously, no matter what you do it will never be a true Potter Classic. But, if the engines are running and they have decent compression (maybe a big if) and if, the transom is not rotted out (since this looks like it was IB or I/O I hope less of an if) isn't this a screaming deal? What am I missing?

Clean it up and you are up and running in a 2x150 2s 23' for less than $25k. No?

Anyone know the boat? I have family that will be in the area in a couple of weeks and might need to send them by the check it out. Not looking to buy just yet...just not sure I can afford to pass this up.

Is this the one in Eastham/wellfleet area? Black?

uh oh...another screamin deal, and closer to home. Time to make sure I have got everyting squared away for "the ask" at home...with deals like this maybe it's better to apply "the ask" to forgiveness rather than permission.

wouldn't say "screaming deal"... gas is gonna be up there this summer, dually two hundos could get costly
