Jim-Not a bad plan with the trade idea! I just completed a trade with my 18SF to a 23 Sceptre. Katrina has alot of history with Ken getting her and the damage that you have repaired. Based on her condition, I would venture to say that it would be tough to get a trade done because of the state of your boat. It can be done, though......

It took me about 9 months to find someone to make my trade. I spoke to ScottM's dad who did make a trade up north and also trade with Bigpine's Savage in the Keys. It ended up that Robert Elmore wanted to downsize and I knew what I wanted and we hit it perfectly.

I'm thinking that a raw hull like that is worth between your cost for repair and labor and say $1200, separate of that nice trailer. The 23 Sceptre hull in Sarasota that EggSuckinDog was interested in was going for $1800 or so. Get the 20 in Maine and then sell the 23 outright! It's just driving there and back! Good luck. The 18SF is a sweet "pocket" offshore center console.
