Happy Dawg, was this on a newer style 23se? Mine is a 2014 with the stupid console seat that's fixed in place and doesn't have much room under it. I want to lose that seat and put a RTIC there, but can't figure out a way to remove it without cutting fiberglass. What am I missing? I have the...

I'm on LI. I'd def check out Raybo as mentioned. He has a great rep and does really nice work.

I have the 4.2L F225 XCA on my 2014 SE. Been on 23se's with the I4 200 and the 150. The 200 is adequate. I love having the extra power, boat is incredibly responsive. Big difference in the I4 200 and the V6 225. Do a lot of fishing in the nearshore ocean and it definitely makes me feel more...

GLWS! Sold my 2007 last year for very similar price, and yours appears to be in slightly better shape! Best 18 footer around in my opinion!

I would definitely go the fish bag route. Get a Canyon bag, best in the business (made right down the block from me!), easy to clean up with a hose hookup standard. Stores easy and you only need to take it out when you need it. Plus, easy to transport to a buddies boat if you need to -...

Hey, might be a little late to this, but I can share my experience... Just purchased a 2014 23 SE with the 4.2L V6 225. I have known I have wanted a 23 SE for a while. Fish out of Moriches and Shinnecock Bays on Long Island, NY, with a few trips to Montauk. Needed a boat skinny water capable...

I get the idea behind the ventilation, but what about us who keep our CC's at a marina? I wouldn't want to leave a pie plate off. What happens if you are away and it rains? Or a neighbor is washing off his rods in a T top and splashes some water on your deck?

Hey folks. ABout to take ownership of a 2014 23se with the forward casting platform. Want to know if folks use that as a fishbox, or just dry storage. Does it drain overboard? Also, how is the insulation? I am thinking of just getting a canyon bag cooler and putting it inside for easy cleanup...

found me the one I want. Deposit down and working out the arrangements! Unfortunately the bay is still frozen and have to wait a bit for the sea trial. Pics and what not to follow if the deal all works out!

thanks that jones is intriguing...

yup, actually checked this boat out. loved it, just a little steep on the price. we shall see.

Looking for a late model 23se. I am on LI, NY. Prefer t-top. Budget 40-50k. Show me what you got!

I put Bennet M-120's on mine, 10 by 12 with the "batwing" design. Really, really helped. I'm a big dude (275) and usually fish with another big dude, plus do a lot of live bait fishing. Getting up on plane was definitely easier, plus it smoothed out the ride in a short chop. If i was doing it...

Thanks for the info ya'll, I'm seeing the boat next week and will check back in.

Hey Parker People! I am the owner of an 07 1801, looking at moving up for next year. My daughter will be old enough to come out and enjoy it with me, which means my wife will be coming a bunch too! Anyhow, they like the idea of a cabin a whole lot. I found a 2006 23 WA I want to check out that...
