Default 85 23 centerconsole looking at

Looking at a 85 23 center twin 140 evin 1 good, 1 powerhead shot, I know a little about seacrafts, just redid a 20' 1973 My questions would be: Is it a good year 85? the floor is soft on the right side of the console, and back towards the box area Are the stringers as well built on a 85 as a 73? Foam capsuled? Has anyone done aa 85? deck Can you leave the gutters on the edge of the floor? The condition of the boat is excellent, the bottom has 1 coat of bottom paint, the Transom seems solid and if i put a bracket it doesn't have to be perfect?? Thanks for some replys,How much is too much 10-12k transoms good, trailer good, console excellnt, front deck fine, lg deck needs work, motors for sale

I own a 77 23 CC and I have been on 23 CC in the 80”s the deck should be the same. You can take off the top layer or glass and remove the lamination and then re place or re build the top like all SeaCrafts, you can leave the gutters in tack. As for a good year although I own a Potter Built I like All 23 CC SeaCrafts and that wouldn’t deter me personally. All SeaCrafts have the foam filled port and starboard stringers on the older ones they used a wood stringer down the centerline. I’m not sure if yours has a center line stringer and if so shat it is made of maybe someone else can let you know. I would always suggest have someone (boat survey) check out the transom that’s about the age of all boats needing that type of work done. They can also give you an accurate price on the boat. I will say for me I was buying a dream and the rock bottom giveaway price was not as important as fulfilling my dream boat I guess the value was in the eyes of the beholder for me, although I didn’t over pay for the hull eather.
