Re: looking at buying a restored 23' 86...any tips?
My boat is a 86 23'CC with a 250 Yamaha 2 stroke. The boat ran and handled excellent when I got it with the exception of a little water on the floor in the back. I really feel that was more of a scupper problem than a weight problem. The boat at one time had twin 150s do'nt know brand. I was and am more than satisfied with the boat. My transom had to be rebuilt because of 250 being mounted on top of thru hull over flow from livewell when the motor was torqued down it cracked the glass around it and got water intrusion. Since transom had to be rebuilt I went ahead and enclosed transom and added bracket. Im sure I paid more for my boat than what the boat on Craigs list is going for but I would do it again.
