Bayfisher, you're not the only one. I think that it is a little high myself, but iI also realize that it's up to the owner to decide the price.

I disagree. The price is not too high because you don't have the money. You just can't afford it. You are not a serious buyer and should not bother the seller. The owner can ask any price he wants, but the market will set the price. I have that much into a 23 that's not finished and has an older motor.

The price is fair any time of year. One or more of you guys will be kicking himself when it's no longer available...

Stay firm - you'll sell her to a knowledgable and appreciative SC lover and enjoy the deal.

Four Boat Theory- Thank you very much for your post. Most of the folks that have expressed some interest have been hopeful they could acquire the boat for big discount. My thoughts are this....if you are in the market for a 1973 SeaaCraft SF, and can find a nicer boat, in better condition, for less money, they you should purchase it. I believe the price set for mine is reasonable. There is no disrespect intended, but if my boat is not in your ballpark, do not go through the motions just for the fun of it. I am interested in the right buyer who will appreciate owning her. Thanks again for you post. You brought a smile to my face

OK.

You have a great boat and it is priced right. If you were to buy a brand new one for 60,000 it would not be as well built. Good luck, Sanzo

Thank you for the compliment. The boat is definitely heavier than a new version an we really enjoy all the attention we get when we are at the ramp or in the water. I have taken pretty good care of her and intend to invest a little more to correct the things I talk about as being "not so perfect" in my description. I am already making some arrangements to do so. This is just the way I am. I believe the condition of the boat is a reflection of my charecter. Thanks again for your post.

I agree. Not many folks expect to pay $28,500 for a 1973 23' open fisherman. Believe me I have met a lot of folks who are interested for several thousand off my asking price. When I first looked at the boat way back when, I thought it was few thousand dollars more than I wanted to pay. The owner was pretty firm like me today. I tossed and turned during the night and decided I was only a couple thousand dollars away from being the new owner. I was not going to let a relatively low amount of money get in the way of me owning this boat. I am happy I did and will find the right person sooner or later. It looks as if those who have expressed an interest are in line with your thoughts. They are probably right. I am going to move forward and invest some more money to take care of the few items that need attention. My first item is going to be a new trailer. The last six months have not been kind to the axles and springs. I have regretted my decision to overhaul the trailer in 2003. What's another 4K for a new trailer? After I invest in a new trailer and spend little more for a few of the items identified in my initial post, I will have approximately 52K invested. I am well aware that my ownership has a price, but I am not going to give her away. I am looking forward to the summer.

The boat is pricey but worth it. I looked at this boat a little while back and the only reason I did not buy it was because I found one with twin engines. My wife was about to kill me for talking about this boat.

If someone really believes the boat is too expensive I have a suggestion: Buy a hull, enclose the transom, add a T-top, redo the console, replace the fuel tank, paint inside and out, add a bracket, buy a new trailer, add a late model Yamaha, and rewire the boat. I think you will find out this is a deal on a 23.

All this boat needs is paint and electronics, both of which could be done down the road. As is stated in the description, the new parts on the trailer show age, but there is no need to replace the trailer, repair would be fairly straight forward. Most classic owners are constantly working on their boats and this one would be something that you could enjoy the use of it while you did the fine tuning.
