1999 Seaward S23

The owner bought this boat in 2017

General condition and any additional information

This is such a fun boat to own. Easy to tow with a smaller vehicle. The mast-raising system allows one person to raise the mast. The 9.8 Tohatsu has very low hours (fresh water only) and has power tilt. There is room to sleep 3 with water and a butane stove and a spot for a porta-potty.

Very clean boat. Had a fiberglass issue with the keel which has been repaired.
