Ran across this lil gem while surfing the net. Thought you all may want to see it. Looks FAST!

Interesting. But I've never heard of any variety of 23' SeaCraft running 70 mph. I think if you had 2 - 300hp engines you would have a hard time topping 70 mph due to the SeaCraft's deep vee hull.

Any body out there running 70+ mph in ANY SeaCraft model??

That is a rather rare Seavette in what looks to be decent shape. As for 70? I have no idea but Finster on the site had one with a single 300 his performance reports are somewhere on this site.

seems lost2a6 was hitting close to 65 with his trs drive and i think jcwlbi said he'd been at 70 in a 20, ...maybe they'll chime in... twin light merc 200s and the right set up and who knows...
price is certainly worth the experiment no? I'll bet he's the first guy to the fishin' hole...

Having a deep v hull will not impair you from hitting those speeds in fact most of the offshore perfomance boats, cigarette, fountain etc are all deep v hulls. I wish could swing this seavette but timing is bad. Its such a pretty boat!

my sceptre would run 65 on the gps with 250 mercs,maybe faster without the top only got 58 with 200's next run will
be with 150 optis 250's were fun though

Yeh, Thats about what I figured. My friend had 2 - 200hp
Merc 2-strokes on his 23 SeaCraft CC and he topped out at about 58 mph also....
Still plenty fast!!

Yeah, but I seem to remember her being so tail heavy, you had to power her off the trailer while launching at the ramp. Really fun watching her on the pins though. I also noticed NoBones left with his pink slip. This leaves me wondering if the stoplight serenade was a Calcutta. I`ll let the Captains sort this out at the dock.

72 mph with the factory 2 thirsty fives is what I was told by the original owner. 54 mph with the big-dog 300 black max that was on it when I bought it.

My 23 Sceptre with a 275 V8 would bury a 55 speedo around to the 0 peg ??? no GPS's at the time, wish we did, that bastad was fast
