Default Whose boat?

I was in Merritt Island this morning, and I saw a 23' CC with a huge 30"-32" setback fiberglass flotation bracket, and twin 275 hp Mercury Verado's. Fighting Lady yellow hull with stainless T-top w/ maroon canvas, front opening walk-in center console and a maroon spray-dodger on the bow. No name on the hull.

It had a CSC "Classic 1976" sticker on the console.

Whose boat is that?

Unfortunately, no camera at the time.

It was at the Steak and Shake on 520, being pulled by a fairly new GMC dually PU.

When I first saw it from the back, as I was in the drive-thru, seeing the motors and VDH hull, I assumed it was a newer 32' SeaCraft. As I pulled alongside, I changed that to thinking it was a newer 25'. Had to be, right? After all, twin 275 Verados?

So after getting my breakfast, I parked nearby, and strolled over to look. There on the side of the console was the CSC "Classic 1976" decal. Except for a scum line on the hull, the boat was so clean it looked as if it had just been pulled off a showroom floor.
Because of the CSC decal, I figured the owner would be easy to contact, and would post pics for all us SeaCraft porn addicts, and we could all slaver a bit.

Then I thought, 550 hp on the back of a 23' CC and no bolsters, just a leaning post. "I wonder how fast it goes.... "

After looking for a while, I drove away, wondering how fast my 20' Seafari would be with just ONE of those motors.

C'mon, somebody's gotta know whose boat that is.

Father Frank - Are you sure it wasn't the New 23TE or the 26MA with the "poser" CSC Decal?

I feel like I've been had. After Snookered asked this, I went and looked at SeaCraftboats.com, and the boat I saw looks exactly like the new 23' Tournament (actually 26'1", same as the 26' MA), front walk-in console and everything. It had canvas on the T-top, though. I now think that's probably what I saw.
The CSC Classic decal sure threw me.
