He seems to recognize the expenses involved with restoration, but my guess is he is looking for a great deal. He will either keep what he has which is nice (73 20' Sea Craft), buy a fixer upper, or buy one reconditioned and in good shape. In my opinion the 23' is a totally different experience than the 20'. I have been in both. I always felt vunerable with the open transom when fishing in rough seas. No trips to Davie Jones locker for me with the full transom mod. I have been down the fix it up road. It is an expensive trip, but for me worth it in the end.
