1973 23 CC w/ 1996 rude 200 New price $15,000

[Neubium]

Perhaps a little underpowered. I have a 1973 23' with a Yamaha 250 on a bracket. She is a bit heavy with a little extra glass post restoration. Top speed is about 43 mph. The Yamaha 250 puts her on a plane without much labor. A Yamaha 225 would probably yield same top speed but would drop some torque. I think the 200 hp is a little light for the older hull. Todays Sea Craft hull is not as heavy. I have a friend with a 2002 23' Sea Craft with 225 mercury that goes close to 50 mph (no T-top).
