Alex,
I might be able to help you out. I have a 1985 23 CC and I’m looking to trade down in size to a master angler. I had a 20 for many years and fished Long Island Sound with it. It was a fine boat for inshore and moderate weather conditions offshore. When I purchased the 23 a few years ago I found it was a totally different animal. It will easily handle anything your willing to take on. My primary interest in the 23 was to chase tuna south of Block Island; unfortunately I haven’t had much time for it. The boat is set up with twin Yamaha outboards has a t-top, curtains new electronics, and many updates. Not sure where you are located but I am in Southeastern CT, boat is on the hard now but once its in the water I would be happy to take you for a spin. If you were looking for a trade, depending on the condition of your boat I would consider a trade for your boat and cash.
