anyone running 23 cc....looking for feedback...deep vee

[snap on ron]

I'm considering going to look at one of these boats this coming weekend. It is a 1995 w/ 2002 225hp Honda. I currently run a 21 se w/ a 2 stroke Yam 200. The reasons I would consider upgrading is for the better ride, solid transom and 4 stroke economy. What kind of perf numbers do you think I should expect out of this setup? Boat has been kept in the water on a mooring...should I have it surveyed?

You can go to Yamaha Motors, click on "Performance Bulletins". They have a 23DVCC w/full report (F-225 Yamaha powered). My boat runs dead on these #'s. If you do not have a T-Top, you'll do slightly better.

I would carefully inspect any 12 yo boat. Look especially at gas tank, deck, transom, anywhere wood could be compromised by poor-non-existant sealers.

Hope it works out. :wink:

My 23SE with a 225 4s also attains at least the numbers in the bulletin.

close to 4mpg at cruise

I dont have a ttop.

A 23 DV with correct prop/f225 will yield about 2.6 -3.0 mpg at cruise with medium load aboard. The Parker 23 DV in the CC configuration is probably the best boat for the money on the market today. I really enjoyed mine.

I don't know----that T-Top looks a little small.

Hard to tell with the small photo...
but it looks like he has Penn boat winches on those rods.
That'll make anything in close proximity looks small. 8)

For our Florida "non-King" fishermen...those funny angled rods on the sides are for King fishing. :roll: :lol:

Must be one of those fancy S.K.A. approved T-Tops. :lol:
