It's a low deadrise hull, without even much entry to it to cut the waves. I looked into one years back, and learned they had EARNED the reputation for being a slammer.

Thanks Ferm.

Anyone have a guess if this is the "Deep Vee" 21* deadrise hull or the "Modified Vee" 14* deadrise hull?

I like the boat, but for that money it better be turn key. No steering or trim pump issues.

Looks closer to 14 degrees to me.

heard the same thing they tend to pound!

I agree, sure looks like a 14 degree hull to me and not a 21. And I think he's WAY high on his price for an 03(1st year) engine with admitted work needed. My concern would be corrosion which seems to be a problem on the early 4 strokes, and from the sounds of steering and trim problems, I imagine corrosion is one of the underlying issues.

That's what I was thinking, on the dead rise and the price. I tried comparing pics on the Parker website of the 2300 and the 2300 SE and decided it looked like both.

As for the price, I figured the guy told the dealer to sell it but the dealer knows he will make more on the repair so they priced it high to keep it from selling. After a couple months they report back to the guy that no one wants a broke boat, the guy tells them to fix it then sell, dealer makes money on repair and a commission.

That looks like a nice one, but I have decided to hold off a couple more seasons before I step up...unless something falls in my lap of course.
