21-24’ Outboard Downeast

[James Pintauro]

No rush but I am considering a pocket downeast boat for my Sarasota, FL home. 21-24 feet with single outboard. Soft top for rack storage. Ideally I would buy another Seaway Seafarer but none on the market anyway.
There is a 21 Roth and a 22 Mathews Brothers in Maryland that look interesting. Thoughts?

The most seaworthy 22 footer OTW is the Sisu made by Eastern Boat in Milton New Hampshire. Sisu is Finnish for stamina and guts.

I am running a Seafarer 288 and have not found a suitable replacement. It is all original from 1998 so I am looking to repower this year and upgrade the electrical system. Can't beat a SeaVee2 hull IMO.

23 Crowley. Best boat in that class. Hands down, prove me wrong.

If he wants a crowley 23...it's a good thing he's in " no rush "

What makes them so good? Better than the sisu,seaway,Nb,webco,GM?

Why? Sargent’s just said they have a build slot open a few weeks ago? He could have a boat by May or June.

Hp to Hp I believe they are faster? I like the length to beam ratio, and they just look damn good. Wrap that package up with Joe Sargent building and finishing them. Great boat with a great history.

Well ...he was supposed to get back to me with a price over a month ago... after several additional inquiries, still haven't heard anything...I've decided to go another route

 

[Diesel Jerry]

That is surprising to hear. I had great communication with him when we had a customer contemplating a build. Very active and attentive. I got estimates and time slots next day.......6:00 AM if I remember right.

Well...I don't know what the problem is...I have the cash ready to build...I just figured he must be too busy with the bigger hulls and doesn't want to deal with a 23 right now

Any idea how much? Outboad version.

Great boats. Was just trying to prove you wrong since you said to.

It was a loaded comment for sure. I love Young Brothers others hate them. You could argue until Blue in the face, nobody will change there mind.

I will not repeat a quote. Call, email, or PM him.

he posted a few weeks ago 26k for hull/top. What do you guys think a finished boat would run? 200hp. 100k?

That’s about what we estimated at boatyard rates. If you did it yourself it would be much cheaper,

I'm still hoping Salty Boats of Maine makes a 24' Nauset since they now have the mold. It would make the perfect outboard boat with a wide beam.

22 Webco, 22 Sisu, 23 GM or 23 Crowley. They're all great boats. Splurge a little and get yourself one of the newly minted 25 Webbers Coves! 8'6 beam, easily trailered down south.
