Classic 23 Seacraft Hull


Mercury Verado Four Stroke under factory warrenty until 2012 (It just had a 1yr service)


The engine has 146 hours total. However the powerhead, steering, and computer software are new.
They were replaced under warranty about 50 hours ago in 2007. I do my best to take very good care of it.
It's like a brand new engine


Mercury Verado 275 Four Stroke


Classic recessed grab rail with forward rod holders


Leaning post with back rest and storage


Raymarine Color Depth Finder, Garmin Color GPS, Mercury "All-in-one" SmartCraft Computer Display, and Digital Throttle (super smooth BTW)


Night shot with electonics on. Note the compass has nighttime lighting


The Smartcraft screen has all the information you could possibly want one in one clean, convenient screen
(fuel level, fuel economy/management, warnings/error codes, and all the engine stats you need)


Electronics box. Recently awl-gripped with starboard box to flush-mount the VHF and CD player


New starboard console hatch with Southco latch and stainless hardware. All electrical switches are new


The boat has been completely re-wired with 12 and 14 gauge Anchor brand marine grade wire and heat shrink crimps.
Everything is clearly numbered, labeled, and zip tied. Also note dual batteries and multi-stage onboard battery charger.
Simply plug the charger in and it will automatically apply the correct charge so both batteries are always is peak form


View of the back of the switches. Again, everything is new with heat shrink crimps. Good wiring is key to hassle free boating


All of the plumbing is new (i.e. stainless thru-hulls, fittings, hoses, and automatic rule 1500 bilge pumps).
Again note how they are clearly labeled and numbered to their matching fuse in the console


High water alarm. Every boat should have one


Brand new hydraulic Detwiler jackplate. Adjusts with the flip of a switch. Allows you to fish the shallow water as well as offshore


Stainless 4 blade prop


Since the engine is under factory warranty through 2012, all but the most basic maintenance has been done by factory authorized Mercury
Verado mechanics. Only Mercury supplies have been used


Engine cover


Full boat cover. Takes 5 minutes to put on and keeps the boat clean


Note the piece of red rope, it helps quickly identify the corners when rolling out the cover


Running lights and flood lights


Cockpit lights


The boat is the perfect balance of easy to tow, yet big enough to take the whole family out


Marathon Key trip with friends


Cruising. The Verado provides plenty of power and torque
(the torque is amazing; as much as a two stroke; you definitely have to hold on if you put the pin down)


The Four Stroke also means its very fuel efficient to run. The Mercury Smartcraft computer display makes it easy to see all the fuel
management numbers
