Mercury sells these literally as "Big Tiller" and they have optional hydraulic power assist:

Not really a surprise on fuel tank. 23 Hourstons came with a belly tank 45ish gallons and option of side tanks that would increase capacity. This 65 gallon tank is probably either larger than original or the boat has the optional side tanks.
I personally don't like the changed look of the raised cabin roof. The original cabin was high enough for my 6'6" brother and had a sleeker look.
I'd also want to know how long ago the previous owner replaced the stringers and have those checked out, along with the transom.

That houston has been updated for 7-8 months. Tough to sell the old houstons for 70k without recent and well documented structural refits. This one doesn't have that. It's a 30k plus shop bill when you have to gut one.Good chance this has been posted already

2008, 28’ Osprey Pilothouse
Owners are selling and going travelling.
the 28 Osprey been a dock mate of Nooma's for many, many years. It would be very hard to find a better maintained or better equipped vessel.

At Pedder bay? I think I have a picture of it when I was drooling over the boats there. It’s a lot of boat.
Yup, Pedder Bay. Ready for Tuna and anything else.

Tough to move these big old boats. At least it’s 10 years newer than the old the uniflite. Easier to sell in Vancouver and Seattle but moorage is still hard to find. You need to be a rich person who likes old things given the moorage and maintenance costs. Ken had some videos of doing the maintenance and what it costs. https://www.facebook.com/share/15oxEfSPEU/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Another Bertram.
Might be a nice Father / Son project.

Haha, that’s me and what I want to do with my 7 year old but we have enough projects to do on our current boat. That runs and has professionals work on the main systems. Looks like residential electrical work? Love how it’s sold as, change out the fuel and you will have an amazing summer of fishing!Another Bertram.

23’ Hourston Glascraft Down to 67k commercially certified. Anyone check it out? Started at 80
This thing is listed as sold now. I'm surprised...that seemed expensive for an older Hourston. Hope they got a good hull survey and everything checked out well.
