Good point Mulv.....But, here's my plan. IF(and that's big if) I get this boat, I would keep it in a slip at a local marina. A 23' downeaster with full enclosure...talk about fall striper fishing in comfort! I'd keep the tin boat and rig it for flyfishing...I'd make a casting platform on the bow and I'd like to redo the transom and enclose it. I didn't really want to be a 2 boat owner but I love the looks of that Seaway! I've always wanted a downeast style boat like that. I still need to see this boat, sea trial it and do some research on it. I already emailed the owner of Seaway for some info on it.

Even though it's 23' I'm not expecting it to ride as good as a V20, in fact it probably won't even come close. These hulls are meant for slower speeds and are a pretty economical design. Eventually I'd love to put a Suzi 140 4 stroke on her. I'm not jumping the gun, I still think it's a pretty damn good deal and if it looks as good as it does in the picture I believe I could always get my money back....and then some too. I hope he calls me, I'd go see it tomorrow if possible.
