Intro and hello

[Capt Skip]

Awesome site and I am glad my buddy Miles sent me over here. I am blessed to have a 1978 23' inboard which is currently being repowered with a new motor. I have had this boat for less then 2 years but love everything about it. I trailer her from Baltimore around the Bay and into the Ocean.
My neighbor owed the boat for 15 years just up the street. His brother replaced the floor with Divicinel and painted her with Imron. He sold his Suburban and asked me to launch her for him which I did. He then asked me to ride back to the creek with him and he would run me back for the trck later. With coffee cup in hand we took off into 2-3'er. He said he was selling her and that was the reason for launching her so he took take Sea trails for interested people. Well I took the wheel as he located some ropes, I sat my coffee cup on the console and crashed through the waves. That was when I realized the coffee cup had not flipped just sat there, this was a standard issue Royal Farm cup and was not in a holder. before we got to his house to tie up I bought her. anyway thought you might like the story as I did.
Interested to follow this website and contribute when ever I can.

Hey Guys, I've got a 1977 Book showing the outline of each model up to the 27MA. I have another book, I think it is a 1974(It doesn,t give the year) but it is in color and shows all the models in real color including Specs.
As for mine, it is a 1974 23SF, White hull, no paint, 350mag I/O, T-Top, Fighting chair with Foot Rest mounted on Engine Box.
