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.

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.

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

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?

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. :'( :'( :'(

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

msbhammer · #8 12-05-2006, 05:01 PM

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

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.

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