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!

Yes, that is very true Denny. I'm ready to get back in the saddle for our Gatherings and bring the kids along on our camping trips.
Sandy-Yep I have a low price on this boat. Even if it was apart the motors are 3-4K min., hull and trailer is 3-4k plus the bracket and jack plates are at least another grand. The boat deserves the work I can't do right now. Also, thanks for keeping a look out for any 18's or 20's that appear useable.

Danny, remember my post from a couple of years ago about the Keys and my juvenile delinquents at the time...
Torture them NOW... Sooo when they grow up, they say,
Gee Dad, the Keys were GREAT can we go with you now!!!!

Keep in mind they are now 33, 29, & 27 years old!!

Each and everyone of them and their significant others all
enjoy the boating, fishing & diving life style.......
I'm closer with my son-in-law then he was ever with his
dad.. To bad he was a golfing slug!

Priceless from my stand point.

See ya, Ken

Danny, good talking to you the other day, i guess i should have jumped sooner. Anyway there is a nice 18 on craigslist in miami you might check out.

Thanks Ryan-That 86 18 looks good. Ken-I do remember that old post, I am following your well established plan..........

I saw someone put up a deposit back in February. Is this one gone to a new home? Thank you. Looking for a nice 23 ft SC CC that is in good condition like this one and that I can bring further up to date or one in great condition that's been done right. patricktruluck@gmail.com cell:704-698-5567

This was sold in 5 days because of the basic pieces of the sale. It may have been worth more, but the price was fair considering the cost of required repairs and improvements. It was not in good condition, but showed well. A 23SF with a desireable power choice with all the pieces that come with it in truly average condition starts around 9-12K.

Yep---It's residing on the shores of Lake Erie...er..shore of Lake Erie. So far, Ive got the transom recored and the large hatch over the tanks recored---tanks boiled out and tested--Holes plugged up in the center consule---the casting platform core is removed and waiting for new balsa core---got the plywood for the new decks yesterday---started to make a new aluminum t-top 80x112"---it looks too big ---i'll cut it down some. Im still debating whether to save the trough along each side. Looks like i'll be fishing out of the sportcraft for the duration of the summer.
