Hello,
I am currently looking at a 23ft 1987 Parker Sou' Wester with a 2005 Suzuki 140 hp 4 Stroke for asking price of 16,000. I pretty much know nothing about these boats except for they are a modified vee. My expectations of my next boat are one that will be fuel efficient, handle inshore stripers and blues well and on good days do some shark and BFT duties. Is this boat one that I should be seriously considering based upon my expectations. Is 140 to low hp? I am not in need of super speed especially with a modified vee I am not gonna be doin balls to the wall in any rough stuff. Where can I find fuel capacity, hull weight? Are these boats known for soft decks, transoms, are the tanks fiberglass or aluminium? As you can see I have many questions any and all help with be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Marc
