That Contender is a good hull, I'll keep my opinions about teh motor to myself. That hull will handle rough water better than the V, but you'd be surprised as how little room it has inside compared to teh V. As far as that goes, teh 23 Sea Craft center console is pretty small as well, especially when you compare it to a 23 Sea Craft Scepter/Tsunami. Best thing for you to do is go to a redneck boat show, otherwise known as cruising the marinas and the dry stacks, look at as many boats as you can. Get a feel of the size and amenities. If you come down this way, I'll show you around.

ditto on the dusky. 23 with a dusky drive (bracket) is a great hull and still trailerable. i personally like ***8224;he ones with a small cuddy up front. it's just large enough to stow some gear that you want to stay dry.

I like that Dusky too...not many around here to go look at though.
The lack of room in the rear of a CC is a concern, thats why I like the looks of the Proline 240 and the GW CC's, they have the console mounted more forward. The Proline 23 sport around 2001-2003 looks good too, its a 25' Donzi hull called a 23 for the old SKA 23' and under class. I am with you on the ETEC Spare, but it NADA's for like $13K used so I could sell it and get a new 4 stroke to replace it...but I wont do anything until winter when people need Christmas money. All the Seacrafts I am finding are either basket cases or rebuilt and crazy priced.

I ran across a Donzi cabin boat a while back(not a walk around, it was an I/O) that was for sale, i tried to talk Ridge Runner into buying it. It was a beast of an hull. Seems like it was a cross over from the hydra sports when OMC owned them boat. Looked to be one heck of a boat. Center consoles bring far more money on average than cuddys, don't ask me why. Centers use up a lot of space in the boat, unless you plan on fishing off the bow, I'd rather have a cuddy and the extra room. Speaking of Hydra sports, thats anoterh choice to look at, I know some one down here that has a cuddy hyrda sport fixer upper that can be bought right. I also forgot, look hard at Pursuits/Tierra/Slick Crafts they made some awesome boats and have glass stringers(no rot to worry about)

I am trying to only look at boats that have limited wood in the hulls.
What motor is on this boat? http://greenville.craigslist.org/boa/4573330866.html

good motor, Proline used to use a lot of wood in their boats, not sure on that year, but 80's thru early 90's had plenty of wood
