Please review a deal on a 1977 23ft.

[wavelength]

Hello all and what a great web site. Here's the deal... I'm looking at a 1977 23ft Seacraft with a 2003 200hp 4 stroke Yamaha with 168 hours and one year left on the warranty. Also a dual axle Magic Tilt trailer. After reviewing post's conserning different issues with the 23's I went back to look again. The transom is solid, I had a 240lb. guy jumping on the motor and the transom did not give. The fuel tank and deck cover have been replaced, re-wired, no soft spots in the deck, very little stress cracking. Dirty as heck but looking beyond that and what some of you have done I think it has a future. Is it worth $9500.00??????????

Regards,
Matt

No way Matt, way to much money. By the way where is that boat at and do you have a # to go with it Seriously if its not a typo I saw and you say it's $9,500.00 with that kind of power, IMO you have a steal on your hands, 23CC are hard to come by buddy and when you find one they dont come cheap By the way welcome to CSC!

yes

I think that is a very good deal,If you pick it apart the engine alone has to be worth $7500 and I am sure the hull is worth more than $3000...

plus it runs!!

He had it at 10K but we are at 9500.00 he needs the money for the IRS. It's not 100% but it would be a project for the future.

IMO you might be a little under powered there but that isin't something you cant take care of in the future. Pull the trigger on it and make sure to post plenty of pics.

Welcome Matt to CSC. It is worth 14K minimum from what you are saying.

Is this boat a CC? If so you better buy quick

10-4 it's a C/C. He did replace the fuel tank cover with starboard so I'll be looking soon for parts. I'll post pic's after I get the 16 layers of dirt off it.
