Stunning new photos of my restored 1977 SeaCraft 23 CC

I would like start off thanking the over 1500 folks who have viewed the original posting and of course the team who makes the “Classic SeaCraft” website possible. Thank you all!

Below are the first set photos you all have been waiting for… a beautifully restored 1977 Potter built 23’ Center Console ready to be customized for a new owner. I have just a few more odds to finish up, but wanted to get these posted as soon as possible.

So you say “But Bill, there is still no engine, controls or steering on the boat... what gives?”

Yes, you are correct, just tell me what engine you want… I can have it mounted and rigged it in about a week or two and you can splash it shortly thereafter….

You want a Mercury, No Problem… The SeaCraft is at Marine Mart, a mercury dealer for nearly 50 years. The owner, Irvin is a master Mercury tech and can obtain New, Factory Remanufactured or used Mercury outboard motors at very attractive prices. Best of all, as a certified master tech, you will have the benefit of Mercury’s warrantee. A single Mercury 250, or a pair of 150s would be great on the 23’s bracket.

You want a Yamaha, No Problem … Another close friend is a Senior certified Yamaha technician and operations manager for a well know Yacht sales organization. Donnie can also obtain new Yamaha outboard motors at very attractive prices. A singe Yamaha 300 or 250 would make the boat fly, as would a pair of 150s. He and his associates have sold and installed over twelve new Yamaha 250s over the past year.

Maybe you want a “Zuke” 250 or 300HP, or ETECs, No Problem….. One of our other associates, worked for Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR) for 20 years as a senior outboard technician and now is our John-Zukie and ETEC point of contact. John can also obtain new, remanufactured or used Suzuki or ETEC outboard motors, and install and rig them if that is the flavor outboard you want ….

Bottom line… this SeaCraft can be sold with your choice of engine(s) and setup to meet your needs!

It can be fully rigged, with steering, Tee-Top, electrical and electronics at any level you want… or you can do it yourself. Your choice, I can be flexible.

And you still want $25K for it ….. I can find one a lot cheaper, down south!

Yes, once again you are correct! Go ahead, go south, you can find several, there are a few there now! Maybe you can steal it for $5K, then you have to bring it back home, and then the fun begins. You will most likely have the pleasure to put $25K to $40K and two years into the project to have it look like this one …. your choice. My boat is ready now! Hang a new engine on it, do some rigging and go fishing!

I will continue to post more photos as I take them. The boat is located in Easton, MD, about 50 miles E of Washington DC, about 30 mile SE of Baltimore, MD and 100 miles N of Norfolk, VA. It is on a very nice tandem Aluminum float on trailer, and yes I can deliver it….
