WTB 23-26 Offshore capable boat
Hello everyone I've been looking around for awhile now and have looked at a few boats but they have been pretty abused.
What I'm looking for
23-26' center console or open deck vessel like the 23 parker sport cabin.
My budget is 25k.
I like Parker's, Steiger, Seacraft, Grady White, Privateer and others that are like what I describe. Prefer outboards 2 or 4 stroke is fine. I realize I don't have a big budget so I'm pretty realistic in my expectations. I'm pretty handy so some elbow grease doesn't scare me.
Don't expect it to be turn key but shouldn't be a wreck either.
Maybe you can help me find my next boat
If I left anything out let me know.
I've had Parker 23 CC
PRIVATEER 24 Renegade
18 Lund Alaskan

Check out my thread on the same. If you weed through the crap, you may find some good info and maybe a boat or 2. Good luck.

Thank you everyone for your listings and input. I've got a couple of PM's out and waiting to hear back for more information. Keep the listings coming I'm bound to find something. 23' is really as small as i want to go. Boat needs to have a T top and live well. Closed transom is important but would look at all hulls depending on the maker.
Thank You again,
Glenn
