			We owned a 2120 Sport cabin Parker. Built very well. Linwood and Robin Parker are excellent folks. However that 2120 SC gave a terrible ride!  We were just looking at a 26' Blackwatch listed here in Westport MA for 22k.

			If you told me I had to pick a 23 ft boat, id say 23-24 SeaVee, Contender, white water, formula, Albermarle, and all their clones as they are the same hull. The 23 Sea Craft runs a close second along with the 25 Sea Craft if you want to run twins. The next step up would be the 26 Bertram, Ive been impressed with the hull over and over again. Granted, these hulls are based on not being able to afford current new boats. Once you get above 26 ft, there are many options available, but for all us poor folks, the hulls I listed are the best options I know of

			I love the old Bertrams too, Albemarle boats are built close to me in Edenton and are really nice too! I think my favorite is Carolina Classic, love the flare and lines! Almost like an overgrown V20!

 Converting an old one isn't the same. The new ones moved a bigger fuel tank to the engine bay and puts in-deck fish boxes where the fuel tanks were.

			A friend of mine had one of those North Coast's back in the early 90's, he loved it. If you have any specific questions about them let me know and I can ask him. Like Ferm said, 2-smokes sell like hotcakes around here too. Proline made some boats that were based on Donzi hulls with sharper deadrises that I like the looks of, but it is a little tough figuring out which ones they are because Proline changed their model numbers so often.

			Anyone have any experience with Shamrock boats? I find the 22 footer with the keel very interesting in center console or walkaround. Just not sure if I am competent enough to operate a single engine inboard around docks, putting on the trailer, and in some of the shallow waters I end up in, but everything I see says the 22 only has a 2 foot draft.
