150 is a little to much think of what you can get for that!

Sorry for the late reply guys. Bob Reichert from Shallow Water Customs.com (see site) was down this week to finish up my electric panel. Looks good! My Cummins 6bt5 is the standard (fool proof) model 210 hp that handles the 23' well and does close to 30 without a puff of smoke. She carries 100 gallons of fuel and averages 2gph idling out, running a bit and idling in. Having the tunnel hull allows for a modest 16" draft on beaches when netting bait. The almost 1500 lb engine w/ Warner Drive centered under the console allows the vessel to walk across 3-5' seas without pounding or slap. The most remarkable thing about this configuration is that "She" drifts perfectly sidewise to a breeze when livebaiting and kite fishing, no sea anchor needed.

Anyone have a set of Lee gunnel mount outrigger bases for l8' poles? Shown in Lee catalog but not being made today. I have available original marinium hausers, cleats, etc. for 1975 23' SF. Condition rough but will polish up nicely. Anyone need same?

Nice job! Interesting that this was a red hull. So was ours origninally, now off/white. Performance video seems very close to what the Cummins is doing for us. The one drawback I see, the I/B - O/B.

real special. nice work sure. but. you can have a 30-35' downeast diesel tuna boat at the same price albeit used not new. but not much used. a real nice calvin beal 34(35?) ft rigged for tuna pulpit and tower, was asking 169K. and when you start adding in a T-Top or pilot house, outriggers, electronics, yikes.
Items I don't like: -open console to engine prob for air , whats noise DB running? -no Pilot house -small scuppers, well same size as mine, looks like deck not raised? curious if 2 guys stand in corner does water come in?regardless of deck raise or not, not having larger scuppers in a total rebuild bothers me...one item on my boat I would certainly address in a rebuild of this order. and deck height to make sure self bails even with 2 huge guys in a stern corner. -console looks okay on size, be nice to have more space to mount more electronics though. CC diesels around cape cod/south shore are for tuna fishing pretty much, long days trolling and running, to warrant the diesel cost. and being limited in range, just being a 23', its a small niche. you compete with the albin 26 and cape cod marine 26 for example in trailered tuna CC. sure not as pretty. nowhere close even. but....I have to wonder what special person this boat is aimed at...inshore for a family its a lot easier to have a bracket and OB both for approaching sandbars and beaches and getting on/off, IO keeping in water is less than ideal at least for me imo, so forth. A beauty for sure, but....out of my price point by far, and the special niche special person not sure who that would be. And in that price point I dream I see new Onslow Bay, Conch 27, Yellowfin, Albin 26, down east boats 32-35 footers used...a mix of OB and diesels for sure.

Fyi for the seatrail it did not have the teak louver door on the console
The scuppers are 1 1/2" and a 300lbs man can stand in the back and no water The deck is a 2" vacuum infused composite that is raised 1 1/2" And this boat has a legendary history of catching more tuna then we all can't imagine. Not being defensive just giving you correct information. Have a good day guys!
