That's what I am thinking. The amount of work involved, materials, cost is incrementally more, but what you have in the end is much more. Also, God forbid, if I never needed to sell, a 23 would be easier and get more of the investment back. Not all, of course, but a larger percentage. Argh. Need to start over.

Although I have loved my Seafari for 44 years for your usage I agree. Go with the 23. When I bought mine with the then available outboards the 23 needed twins. Although I trolled offshore I also wanted better ski ability. I usually had 1-2 fishing companions, but it you have 2-3 good size guys the Seafari will be cramped. If you are loosing interest now the Seafari will probably never finish. Cut your future losses even if you have to give the Seafari away. Even my Seafari-loving wife agrees!
