Any shots of the interior including inside the cabin?

[Trayder]

I think it should mirror that of a Sceptre / Tsunami?

Yes it's a Tsunami with no windshield. This is definatley a rare boat, however there is another one for sale that some of us know of, and it's an inboard also. So you are looking for $12,500 for the hull only, Engine is shot and the trailer can be bought extra?

[Bryan A.]

Thanks guys. As you know Trayder I'm always looking for the perfect boat for my needs. Do you think you could sleep two adults and two small children in there?
Probably not.

[FELLOW-SHIP]

I am sure you could sleep all 4 of ya, just not all at the same time.

You'll need a Seavette for that. Nah it's hard to get fishibility and accommodations out of a 23' boat. It all goes back to my "4 boat theory", and wives love that theory....NOT!

There's an IB Savage here by me. It's in great shape too. The guy wouldn't sell it for the world.

Hi,
It does resemble a Tsunami but the motor is in the center under a center console . It has a Bimini top and some canvas covers.., would look better with a T-top. Not an I/O with the motor in the rear. I am in Florida for the winter but the boat is in Virginia with a friend and it could be seen at any time. I will try and get some more pictures... Thank you , As for the price I guess the market will tell me how low I will have to go , I will consider all offers but it will be hard to compare as there are so few like this one.

As far as the trailer goes I had it built by Loadmaster , I paid $3,250. plus tax glad to show you the original invoice ) Bought it , had the storage place put the boat on it with a fork lift then drove it from Florida to Virgina to work on it in the summer. So the trailer has 900 miles on it. Bought an older house and my wife thinks I need to be working on it , not the boat. Go figure ??? Any other questions I will be happy to answer.

HI,
It does look somewhat like a Sceptre / Tsunami but the big difference is the center console and where the motor is mounted. It's truly a neat set up. The cabin is like a Tsunami but most of the weight is low in the center where the motor and captain are. No outboard motor well and no outboard bracket...... Easy to fish out of boat
Check out the " Specification " page .
Thanks ,
