1974 23' SeaCraft For Sale (Potter Built)

[capecodangler]

I'm selling my 1974 23' SeaCraft. It's truly a unigue boat in that it has twin I/O's. Don't let it fool you...the twin I/O's make this one of the best riding, handling and fuel efficient boats I've ever owned. In 2003, I re-powered with (2) brand new Merc. 4 cylinder(135 hp) motors and (2) brand new alpha drives. In 2006, I replaced the port alpha drive (new) due to a manufacturer defect. Both engines have aprrox. 550 hours. The transom was completely replaced in 2003. All the wiring and hydraulics (incl. steering and trim tabs) replaced new in 2003. Hatches and deck soild....I believe less than 10 boats with twin I/O's were made by Potter himself..in the 70's.

The engines have been well maintained by a local marina each season. The lightweight 4 cyl motors make this a very fuel effient boat. According to its Floscan, it burns approx. 12 gallons (6 gallons each) an hour cruising at 27-30 mph. I spent many a day out at the ledge and BB without having to worry about my 70 gallon fuel capacity.

I've listed many of the options below. It comes with electronics, tandem galvanized trailer, outriggers and lots more!! Ready to tuna fish!! The t-top needs to be replaced other than that all the hardware, mechanics and electrical work is in top notch condition.

Swap out those merc's for some 120hp 4cyl diesels and you'll really have a looker! Nice boat. Good luck with the sale.
