New 23 Calvin

[Tumblehome]

Here is a pic I robbed from a local dealer's website. This looks like a sweet ride. It's hard to put a wheel house on these smaller DE's and have it look decent, but they have pulled it off with this one (imo). Jim Beal's shop in Milbridge, Me. builds these boats for the dealer. The dealer claims a 20 knot cruise with 115 hp, at 4gph fuel burn. What's not to like about that?

Very well proportioned, got a base price with that power??

Is there a keel on the bottom?

Good questions, for which I have no answers. The info on the dealer's site is pretty sparse for those of us who need details . I was hopeful someone on the site might be able to offer more details on this hull.

I agree with El Mar
well proportioned

At the Portland Boat Show that rig w/ a Yamaha 115HP was around 52K. Not sure if the trailer was included in the price (I think not) We are having one built this Winter.

There is a little bit of Keel for stability, and I believe that to put a Honda 150BF on that boat you will be looking at Closer to 60,000. I think it is about 45,000 to have the boat finished, plus the cost of the outboard.

Sounds about right. Honda BF150 will set you back $16,500-$17,000 now-a-days. Plus another $1500.00-$1700.00 for hydraulic steering. Add a trailer & it's $65.000 all-in. Maybe even a tad more when you have all my electronics installed.

Beautiful boat.
What is the beam???

8'6" but it feels roomier once you're on the deck. If you like deck space (like my wife & I do) she is very wide. We purchased this boat "exactly" for this reason.

when i was having my wayne beal built in 1996 i had seen a 23 outside jim beals place i had to stop and ask about it because it was such a nice boat....it was only 18,000 dollars back then....wow i cant believe how much these boats have gone up because of the price of resin

Not a problem. I'll forward them over either Sunday or Monday. Just don't freak out if you see a bunch of attachments when I shoot it over. I am so wierd about opening anything that I don't know where it is coming from.
