WTB hourston 23 sedan or trophy 2359

[ExFlyGuy]

Hey guys,

I think it's time for me to move up to a bigger boat this spring. If any of you know anyone thinking about selling one of these boats please let me know. Also feel free to post or pm me anything you see on the interweb.

Thanks

Both nice boats but I would get a Hourston if you can find one, probably easier to find a Trophy. Few things to watch for with the 2359. The 5litres are a bit under powered for this heavy a boat. The fuel injected 5.7 is the better motor. Some owners complain about water entering the fuel filler neck, and the very common fish box filling with water. I believe they may of fixed the fish box problem in 2009.
Don't Know if you have seen these:

Thanks Casper. I have seen this one. That seems like a lot of coin for basically just the hull. By the looks of it it will be a complete gut job and I'm not sure I would even trust that trailer to get it back to nanaimo.

Keep them coming! Someone must know someone with one in there driveway that hasn't been used in a year our two...

Pretty rare to find 2359 for under 30k USD but it has happened. Maybe go a little bigger, found on Facebook 2002 26' Seaswirl Striper.

Has anyone gone to take a look at this or know it's story? If the stringers, transom have been rebuilt it might be one of the better deals out there.
