I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

I'm thinking of selling my V-20. I would like to move up to something in the 22-24ft range. I like my V-20's cockpit room and how quick she gets on plane but I think I would like something newer with at least a 25" transom and flotation. I've been looking at some Center Consoles and Walkarounds but havent seriously considered anything yet.

If you like your layout look at Seacraft 23' Tsunami/Sceptre's.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Tin I was actually considering checking this one out:

Its been for sale for a while and i'm wondering why since the price and condition looks pretty good. I really would like to stay away from older power and the 23's with newer power fetch a premium. The Seacrafts and Makos always are up there in price.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

The 23 Seacraft's ride is one if not the best in that size, ever been on one?

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

I've never been on one but have heard nothing but good things about the ride of all the Potter built hulls. Overall I like the ride of the V-20, however I do think it is over rated. In a short chop the V-20 still rides pretty hard considering the deadrise and sharp entry. My brothers 1987 22 Angler Walkaround can run circles around me in a little bit of chop comfortably.

What ya think about the boat I posted?

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Hey Mulv, I been thinking the same thing. Would like something slightly larger and wider. I gotta always even out the boat with dive gear or she will tilt, but I guess thats a reason I should have trim tabs. Thought about just waiting for SKOOL to finish off his 24 ft. Wellcraft and then just rob him. ;D
But again, trying to get into a new home by next year, so I might wait another year before I move up. I also want new dive gear as well. :'(
If I go with a bigger boat, that means a bigger garage. :'( :'( :'(

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

If it checks out...VERY GOOD...cheapest 23 on the market!

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Mulv. Nice boat, but well over priced I think.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

I don't know it looks like it was for sale back in 05' by the current owner. It looks like a pretty sweet deal, I know these boats have a cult following like we do for the V-20 so i wonder why no one snatched her up yet.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Hammer, I have seen the 23's go upwards of $20,000, most sell somewhere between 12-17 g's.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

....even up to $40k+! :o

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Whew, to much for me. I must be a Cheap A$$ or dont know squat about boats, or maybe even both. ;D

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Mulv, whatta bout this one? Looks pretty nice but ia an I/O.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Its a shame that one isnt an outboard. As clean as she looks I still don't want an I/O but good find Tin ;)

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

the I/O boats are the ones to find, once the motor gives out, its easier to glass up the transom for a bracket and outboard than to glass up the transom on an exisiting outboard model, most of those boats either have ahda transom, or in need of a transom, so if your going to do it, put a braket on it and glass up the transom. the great thing about those boats are the stringers are glass, so you don't have to worry about them

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

That is a nice one that Tin posted. Clean boat.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

A potter hull 23'. Ain't none cheap.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

looks like that first one can be had for $5000. guarantee it.

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

The older seacrafts are great boats but they have been around quite awhile. A friend of mine in DL is in the fiberglass business and a couple of years ago redid a 23 the owner gave him an open checkbook put over 30 grand in the boat real nice but still an old boat

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

I have a friend that has two Seacrafts, both 23' one CC one cuddy.
I have been trying to get the cuddy for years now but he thinks he has a gold mind there!!
In would have to sell my V and have just enough to get it, then it needs repower and lots of cosmetic work.

I am waiting for him to be desperate!! But then again I am already!! :(

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Hey guys...don't wanna spoil the fun here, but a good friend of mine played "2 footitis" all the way up to a 25'er...and still got beat like a rented mule... I was w/ him on several of those discovery missions :P ... figure out what's the worst seas you're willin' to be out in and go on up to a hull to handle that...for him it turned out to be a 28' CC cat hull...and, yup, I've seen that pound ... just not so much ...

...betcha most on this board want a bigger one ... boat that is ... but none will make an interstate outta the ocean ;) ...

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

I'd like a bigger one but mostly for cruisin' (boat that is)

Re: I got a bad case of 2 footitis
 

Well if you ever decide to get a bigger one...boat that is...you know here to be postin' the PD ;) ...we like seein' the Yam, but we no wanna see pix of yo Johnson!! :o ...
