Take a look at this one for comparison,
http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...34&searchtype= I'm glad its to far from me or I might be persuaded to go get it. I think the twin I/O is a nightmare for most poeple. I do ALL of my own work and looking at two I/O's makes my head spin, one I can hande but two is a whole lot of work. That 23 looks nice but you can get in to one for less and make it exactly what you want. Like Scott says I think they are asking a little to much for it and the average joe isn't going to drop 30K on a thirty plus year old boat. Now take an average SeaCraft lover and you will find them buying a hull for $3000 and putting another 27K into it to make it there own restoration and thats a differant story worth every penny
. Take my uncles old lapstrake Lyman back in the eightys. He paid nothing for it, almost junk in someones back yard, spent some $$$ and three years restoring it in his backyard shop and he had his ultimate boat(no one was allowed to where shoes in this boat lol), one of the nicest restorations I have ever seen. Now, could he get back what he put in to it? Like most things like this the answer is no, but to the guy that restored it, it was pricless. This boat turned every head that ever laid eyes on it weather you liked boats or not you stoped to look as it went by, gold leaf on a mahogany transom just does something to people
You just can't buy that at a marina. You can pick up a real big project or get one that you can use right away and work on it as time goes by(thats what I did and am still doing).I would rather buy a solid boat and do it my way. Good luck Jon
