Default 23' SeaCraft CC, 1985 with twin Merc 150s

SeaCraft 23’ Center Console, 1985

Twin Mercury 150’s which start on the first crank.
Steering overhauled by Bill’s Outboard earlier this year.
New leaning post with 4 rod holders, fixed hand rail, fold-down foot rail, underseat storage box, and cooler fits in the base.
T-top is an older KentFab, with a couple of the welds redone this spring. It has 4 rod holders, 3 antenna mounts, 2 Hobbs deck lights, canvas & plastic windscreen and side panels.
Rewired by Tom Lemaire of Marine Trading Company this spring.
New switch panel fabricated by Ward’s Marine, with the SeaCraft logo and with 8 waterproof rocker switches.
Switches and engraved labels all backlit.
New Teleflex gauges.
New batteries.
New Perko battery switches (3).
New courtesy deck lights.
Garmin color GPS – GPSMAP 182C.
ICOM VHF IC-M402S, antenna has new s/s quick release mounting
2 bilge pumps.
Teak: along the gunnels, rod holders under the gunnels, front access hatch and trim, trim around the instrument panel, and the trim on rear hatches (all of the teak needs refinishing).
Needs a new set of access doors for the footwell area of the CC (have a quote from a hatch manufacturer for a starboard/plexi solution)
Outriggers.
Have smoke windshield that is not currently installed but goes with the boat.
New bottom paint and freshly buffed & waxed.
Trailer is a tandem axle EZLoader, was redone last fall by a local welding shop who knows boat trailers, beefing up some of the supports, etc.
Hull ID: SICF3041H485

I bought this last year on an impulse. I ran it a bunch last fall (see below), but have only gotten out this summer on July 4th weekend. With a two year-old daughter, a one year-old son, and an ever lengthening honey-do list, time on the water is not happening. The boat was a swimmer after a storm on Martha’s Vineyard, so I bought it cheap and put a bunch of money into it over the winter. The previous owner had a local shop do triage (motors, fuel, etc) at that time, and then I had Bill’s Outboard go over it last fall. I had assumed the motors would be dead, but on the advice of Alan at Bill’s Outboard, I put a bunch of hours on the motors before winterizing them, and they continue to run strong. I'm new to SeaCraft and powerboats in general, and I have been given a wide variation of opinions on the value of it. For now, I'll ask $15,900.

The pictures, by the way, do not show it at its best -- most of that dirt washes away, I just didn't have the chance before taking the photos. The leaning post is brand new & the cushions are nice and white. The deck is not new, but it does get a lot cleaner than that!

Engines are also 1985's, I believe. Have not had the compression tested. Any other questions, please let me know. Thanks.

How is the deck and transom, any soft spots. A compressions check would be very helpful, but even so thats a decent amount of money for 20 year old engines. What is the fuel capacity and have the tank(s) been replace or inspeted recently.

Most 23's without power go for around $10,000 or more. I think this a great deal for someone to use for a couple of seasons and then repower with new or slightly used motors. Good luck selling her, but I'm sure you won't need the luck!

Is there a newspaper you'd suggest, or something else there? Thanks.
