I owned a 94 232 which I bought used in 96 and I'd put it up against many many boats in that size range. Please don't include them in the Bayliner catagory. These were not entry level boats and I surely didn't buy mine soley on price. They are used extensively by alot of guides on the great lakes. Built in Perry Florida. Mine had a 147 gallon fuel tank and it made for an excellent range. I ran a 225 two stroke on a bracket (factory). It had a center console that slept (that's right slept) two people. Sold it in 2000 for 20K. I've had it in the gulfstream in true 8' seas and made it in with no problems. Look in the bilge at the stringer system and you may be pleasently surprised. Sorry Phat, but the 115 sea drive was not a 23, it wouldn't get out of it's own way. The 27' on craigslist is a much different hull and it has a 10' beam. It's like comparing a V20 to a 250 Coastal. I fished extensively on a 248 Wellcraft in many tournaments and rode on a few 228's and i think the Sportcraft is a more stout boat than both. Sorry if I've offended anybody, but that's my opinion. Still, if you like the boat, and if all systems check out to your standards, I'd say buy it. Just my $.02 and sorry for the rant, but I'm old and tired.

I had a 86 23ft cutty cabin that I purchased out of upstate New York. It had a OMC Cobra 4.3 V 6 that topped out at 39 MPH and was very fuel efficient. However, I ended up getting rid of it because it rode very hard in the bay. Check the boats dead rise. Mine had little angle which made for great fuel economy and one really lousy ride. Kamikaze

Thanks for all the input from everyone here. This is a link to the boat I'm thinking about going to take a look. I'm just waiting on a reply from the seller.

Still-
Did you see this one on there? http://norfolk.craigslist.org/boa/1051707274.html Might be able to cut his price even more and then spend some cash on a good used OB. Just a thought. -Svence

When looking for a replacement for my Johnson I found a ton of good deals on lightly used outboards. If you are patient you can find a great motor with a warranty for a lot less than something brand new. Keep your eyes peeled. Also, if you pick that up and need to sell the blown motor, let me know. I will give you the number of the guys who took mine. Gave me a decent amount of cash and pulled the thing right off the back of the boat, no work for me.
