Re: 1984 - 23 Classic
Appreciate everyone's feedback. Sorry for delayed response.
To answer a few questions...
- The transom and deck are in excellent shape. The whole hull is really in excellent condition but the navy blue paint is oxidized.
- The transom is open to the swim platform - which I really like btw for easy access to the platform. The platform is a popular place to fish on a hot day.
- The live well is not plumbed but can be.
- Don't know the model numbers of the Furuno or Garmin GPS offhand. I'd guess they are 10-12 years old but work fine.
- It does have a Float-on trailer but it's not in great shape (it sat for years while my boat was in a high & dry).
- Motor. I haven't had the compression checked on the Johnson 200 Oceanrunner but at WOT the RPMS are 5500. Agree the boat is slightly underpowered with a 200. Max speed I've hit is 32 mph. This rig has always been fast enough for me though and always got me to the fish - and home.
The only real problem I've had with the boat in 8+ years was a cracked fuel tank. I'm sure some people on this board can relate to that ordeal. Cost me $3,500 to replace. So anyone buying this boat won't have that to worry about!
Thanks again for everyone'e feedback. Definitely helping me zero in on a fair price.
