I smiled when I saw all the rod holders in your boat, but as they say , you can never have enough rod holders.The picture I posted was when I first set the boat up.

Sorry Bigeasy1, mine is the yellow seacraft 23 with the teak gunnels which currently has no rod holders. I bought the bare hull in 2016. The boat had originally been customized around 2000 and put up for sale in Florida. It created quite a stir here on the classic seacraft site because they wanted a lot of money. I don't know what it sold for but they were asking US$75,000. Below is a link to the original thread:

It was resold in January 2003 for US$53,000:

It originally had twin 200hp OX66 engines but the guy I bought it off kept the engines which were very low hour. I don't think it got much use. He said it sunk at the dock (scuppers?) and he bought it for salvage. It went up for sale in 2016 and I grabbed it because he was selling it for less than the value of the installed equipment (kplane tabs, twin Stainless bracket, dual Seastar, etc). I knew nothing about Seacraft but was quite excited when I read the reviews on its rough water capabilities. I rigged it with a single 250hp OX66 and a 9.9 yamaha ht and have been working at converting from a "picnic" boat back to a fishing boat. It is a heavy boat. The previous owner said it weighed about 5,500 lbs with engines, gear and fuel.
