duck youre not overpaying, you never see 23ccs at these prices unless they are mostly apart. If youre talking about the 23 in Wilmington that looks like a nice deal

Ryan is correct, the boat needs work. "Mostly apart" usually does apply. This boat is not apart, but it does need a transom and steering arms to start. This is a great 23SF that only 5 or 6 boats were built like. Look it up. If you are new to this site, you may need to read some old posts so that you are not blindly going into buying a SC that is 32 years old and needs work. There has been more than 1 guy on this site that thought he was buying a 2005 Tracker SeaCraft when he bought his low cost classic

All things have a way of turning out for the better
in the long run....

how fast does she run with the twins, and i am sure you have to keep the plugs in when you are at rest fishing?

The boat has been up to 60. The motors were at around 5400-5500rpm. There is no water on the deck by the scuppers at rest or when I am out. I don't recall water back there ever.

Danny,
Don`t you think the price is about 3k too low even in this market? You always had a soft spot for the 18`s and the squids could enjoy it.

Would you like us to keep an eye out?

Cheers,
Sandy

Thanks Ken. I'm with you on that one.

Hey Danny-

I sold my 23 a few years ago with mixed emotions as well...sometimes you just do what you feel is right at the time. There's lots of boats out there. Maybe the next one you get will have that diesel you were looking for. Good luck with everything.

Thanks Strick. I agree with you on the fact that there are plenty of boats out there. My oldest son is almost 13 (he was 4 when I joined CSC) I only have a few years to get my kids totally hooked on boating.

Danny - if you don't get 'em hooked before they're teenagers and discover girls, it may be too late!
