No keep going... everyone brags on how the 23 formulas are such a sweet riding boat.... and the hull is still being produced today so there has to be something good about them? Yes I've heard that they roll a little at rest because of the steep deadrise. I've never rode in one of them so I dont know much about the ride. Unlike seacrafts that hull is not uncommon in California and I have considered that as a possible restoration project as they have a cuddy and right now I want something with a cuddy to tinker with. Dont worry the seacraft is going nowere. I know were I can get two right now one at $500 and the other probably for free thats been sitting for a very loooong time. One thing I'll say is the boat has an ugly profile from the side.. it looks like a torpedo.. at a quartering away angle it dont look so bad. I'd say a total make over would be in order for one of those. Anyone know what other manufacturers had spin offs of the 23 formula beside Albermarle and the early contender 23? They did a great job on that restoration....but I think they should have raised the floor a couple inches like Albermarle did.
