1973 23 Seacraft Tsunami, Potter Hull, a classic, collectible Seacraft. I bought this boat about 4 years ago, same owner since 1983 and she had been kept on a lift so the hull was dry and solid. I have been slowly upgrading and restoring the boat since, but now have 2 boats and no more time. She runs great, the last things needing to be done mostly involve paint and details. Just got back from several hundred miles cruising in the Keys, comfortable to sleep aboard and great offshore. In calm conditions offshore I averaged 33knots from Ft. Lauderdale to Key Largo. The boat was repowered with a 2008 300hp Suzuki 4 stroke with 230 hours -- she's seen almost 50 knots with the new engine and gets 3mpg at cruise. 
Nicks Creative Marine in Riviera Beach FL built a full transom with a new Armstrong bracket for her, and then I did a center console conversion with new steering, instruments and wiring. New fuel tank, new trim tabs, new leaning post with extra racing bolsters included. The engine just had a full service. On the advice of Nick, the engine was lengthened to 30" and the Armstrong bracket built extra high. This puts the powerhead well above the waterline for backing down safely and also gives extra reserve flotation for the 4 stroke. She also has full canvas with front and side curtains with smileys, and a Continental 2 axle aluminum trailer in decent shape. 
I have about $35k in the boat. I'll consider most trades up or down.
