well i may be putting off my 23 project totally. i came across a 23 contender that has not been used for about 6 years. its been hanging on their dock. i would be able to pick it up for less than i would be putting into my 23 project. i should find out by the end of the week if the deal goes through or not. it needs to be re-wired and have the hydraulic steering fixed and have electronics put in it. i know its a good hull too so i dont think ill be unhappy with it.

What happens if/when you find rotten stringers in the contender
IMHO if you can rebuild the hull you really want with materials and techniques that will make it last at least a generation, then your better off vs buying another used boat at the same price that may need that same work eventually.
Of course if the idea is to get back out on the water ASAP then I completely understand.
I have agreed to buy my 23CC (pick up in the next week) or else I would offer to buy your project from you.
good luck with either choice.
