23 cc questions
Well I think I have my mine made up on picking up a 23CC.
So I have a few questions about pick out for myself and family.
There are a few around me but I am not sure which would be the best. I would like to find a running example that I may use a bit before digging in to it. I just missed a real nice one in miami with a porter bracket and even the walk through door! I should have gotten in the car and gone and looked at it sooner!
So my options are a mid 70's inboard with newer 454. boat needs some TLC. overall looks like it could be decent but I would like a bracketed outboard in the future and I am not sure if converting a straight inboard would be a good candidate?
Next option is a mid 70's that has the floor and ready removed. That one would require work. There is an inclosed transom and the exterior hull is nice and painted, stringers rebuilt but no floor or console or engines. What i dont know about though is how hard will it be to make the new complete new floor? I dont believe there is any of the old floor left. So i would have to make the entire floor from scratch. Would that be a very difficult job?
Next option is a 84 23cc in decent condition all stock.
The 1 and 3 option are similarly priced the second option is about half the price. I would love some guidance from all the wonderful knowledge members on here. Ideally I would like to have a nice 23 with a bracket and dual outboards for the runs to the islands possibly a walk through transom door for the kids and wife as well to dive off of. Thanks in advance and i really look forward the information!
