Nice Job. What color Blue?

Bring that thing down to Boca Grande and we will do some Tarpon fishing.

I think that may be my dream machine, I know you may not be able to get away without a T-top in the FL sun but it really looks great without one, real slick.

I know you may of told us before but what is the history behind your 23?

My original comments:

Notes on the boat: Originally one of 6 jackshafted diesels, 4 seperate gas tanks totalling 200 gallons(may be too little considering the motors )100 gallons where the Volvo sat and 2 saddle tanks below deck, extra fish box custom built behind original bow storage step, 3 inch drain scuppers that where routed through the original exaust baffles (I found my 3 inch drain plugs in the plumbing section @ Ace hardware), jackplates on both motors

Jason- Here is the boat history. I think that based on the unique configuration, the boat was fished daily, charter fishing out of Miami in it's original life. When the guy here in bradenton got it, he pulled the Volvo motor and outdrive and just glassed in the transom opening, dropped the motors on the bracket, 100 gals under the console and that was about it. He fished the SKA with it down here before he bought his Contender..........

Danny,

Congrats!! The boat looks great!

I used those same plugs my old 3" scuppers before I moved the drains outboard and added Rabuds. I still keep a set onboard in case I have a problem with the Rabuds.

Now work out those last few bugs, and get out there and use it!!

Thanks Lloyd. My deck was raised I believe as well. I have the Grand Canyon under the deck where the shaft and running gear was. Also, with the saddle tanks, almost the whole rear deck is removable for access.
