Bayfisher, you're not the only one. I think that it is a little high myself, but iI also realize that it's up to the owner to decide the price.

John,

Do you have any other photos you can email to me?

Thanks

before y'all decide this boat is overpriced, add up what taking a $4K beater hull to this condition would cost... (go ahead and figure the power and trailer into it while you're at it). I have no vested interest in this boat selling, but I find the bargain hunters to be a tad unrealistic - and I'm not singling anyone out here, just stating that redoing a 23' to this point costs coinage. You can buy a "project boat" and sink your own money into it or buy this one that has already been done.

For reference, this boat costs $12K less than I have into a 1971 20'

YMMV, my $.02

I have had considerable interest in the boat. I have had more than I expected from out of town folks. When I decided to put the boat up for sale I had a tough time deciding on a fair price. Each potential buyer has had the overall opinion I am very negotiable. I am not ready to give her away. She is worth a lot and I will continue to enjoy ownership until the right person comes along. For example, take a look at the rare 20' overnighter that is for sale by Bill Potter. Great looking boat but it is '79 restoration for 39K. Do I think it is toatlly out of the question....no because I understand what it takes to pay a professional outfit to put a restoration together. I also recognize what the new boats are going for these days. For me, I have 48K in my boat and believe you would find it a difficult task to locate a 1973 23 SF in better condition. This is a heavy, well made boat, that is now stronger than original. With a few small items I have been holding off on (like the t-top canvas), this boat is close to new condition. If it doesnt sell, I plan to put fresh paint on her and hold my head high at the sand bar.

If your looking for a great circuit boat, I'd jump on this one. As Ikan has stated, you could not refurbish a 23' to this level for this price [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Don't forget too deduct your 20' and trailer sale after you snag it [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Would you consider selling without the motor?

[Neubium]

Fiasco, I am not interested in separating the motor from the boat. The motor was a new 2000 Yamaha SX 250 purchased in June '01. I have <100 hours on the engine. It is the right motor for this boat. They belong together. Call me if I can help you with any additional information.

I disagree. The price is not too high because you don't have the money. You just can't afford it. You are not a serious buyer and should not bother the seller. The owner can ask any price he wants, but the market will set the price. I have that much into a 23 that's not finished and has an older motor.

The price is fair any time of year. One or more of you guys will be kicking himself when it's no longer available...

Stay firm - you'll sell her to a knowledgable and appreciative SC lover and enjoy the deal.

Four Boat Theory- Thank you very much for your post. Most of the folks that have expressed some interest have been hopeful they could acquire the boat for big discount. My thoughts are this....if you are in the market for a 1973 SeaaCraft SF, and can find a nicer boat, in better condition, for less money, they you should purchase it. I believe the price set for mine is reasonable. There is no disrespect intended, but if my boat is not in your ballpark, do not go through the motions just for the fun of it. I am interested in the right buyer who will appreciate owning her. Thanks again for you post. You brought a smile to my face
