Hey guys,

If you come across a good deal on a center console, I'd appreciate it if you let me know.

I'm looking for something from 20-23 ft (ideal would be 21-22) and between $5-6k, preferably powered by J/E, but not necessary. T-top preferable as well...

Here are a few I've been looking at; opinions are welcome.

If this guy would take $6k, I'd be on it (I don't know why he refers to it as a nice "starter boat"):

This one's nice, but only 19 feet...

Who knows how much this one will end up going for???

I would love an Aquasport 222 CCP:

Thanks Skools. I emailed the guy for a few more details and pics since the ones he posted turned out like negatives...

You don't think that's too old of a boat? I know those things were built like tanks, but 1978 is pretty old...
 
If you find a good fiberglass boat and it was taken care of a 1901 is not to old!!!!!!!!!

I like my Sea Ox so far, I have invested a lot into this boat and I only been in it 6 times!! But I can tell she is a winner!

What you waiting on with the last boat you posted? It looks great!
 
my sea ox you saw is a 77 and it's hull is 3 times as thick in glass as our V20's much better built boats, but heavy. will out last you for sure.
 
Thanks for that Skools.

Hey, Iboats has the following info on that sea ox:

The 1978, 2300 Center Console is a 22.58 foot outboard boat. The weight of the boat is 1980 lbs. which does not include passengers, aftermarket boating accessories, or fuel. The max rated horsepower of this boat, as listed by the manufacturer, (according to records we have) is 240 hp .

Do you know the size of the beam on that baby?
 
NADA only goes as far back as 1980, but says:

Boats and Personal Watercraft
1980 SEA OX
SEA OX 230
Outboard Boats



 Length: 23' Model Name/Description: SEA OX 230 Boat Type: Outboard Boats Hull Material: Fiberglass Beam: 8' 6" Engine: N/A Net Weight: 4000
 
Woe! That's a big difference in specs! 1980 pounds versus 4000 is huge. That's a monster beam size as well. I'm liking this boat...

Based on what Skools has said and what MJ has just posted, I tend to think Iboats has it wrong...

Have you ruled out the first boat on craigs list the mako. If not that might be the perfect boat for my dad, but did not want to if your still interested.
 
Stillrunning,

Thank you for being so courteous. If you don't mind, that boat is still at the top of the list. I just emailed the guy. If you'd give me just a couple days, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Steve
 
Yeah, I don't know what's up with me RM... Right after I bought the dually, I already had the itch for a center console. I don't know what it is about center consoles, but I really like them. If I find one and buy it, I'll be putting the v up for sale come Spring. The only reason I'm looking now is because this seems to be the time to buy, given the season and the recession... should be able to find a great deal.
