1999 Hake / Seaward 23' Shoal Dr... for Sale

Extreme Shoal Draft & Trailerable She is a fractional sloop-light on the helm & will accelerate in a heartbeat, and can turn inside her own length. The 1999 Seaward 23…..LOA 24’.5’ , with bowsprit 26', has a 8’3’ beam. Draft: 2’1” (25 inches). She is beachable, yet is a great boat for the intercostal and the inland waterways, yet quite capable on the open sea to the Bahamas as well, thanks to the hull design. Displacement: 2700 lbs. Keel 900#. The high bow and transom provide dry and comfortable accommodations for passengers. along with a raised bulwark (foot rail) forward to assure footing when changing a sail or raising an anchor. The Seaward 23 has a sweeping sheerline and a fair bit of freeboard forward. The topsides have subtle tumblehome sections down low, which extends the waterline beam, adds a salty look and offers some form stability. The springy stern features an outboard rudder assembly, and the nearly plumb bow. This not only improves performance, but also creates more interior volume in the forward cabin. A short bowsprit accentuates the traditional look and is also practical as an anchoring platform The current owner has made a number of improvements to the boat over the last year including updating the electronics. He also added two new automatic bilges and additional high power auxiliary pump, plus a solar panel to trickle-charge the battery, and new 2019 Sunbrella Bimini, and cockpit cautions. She is so easy to single hand as all lines come aft onto self-tailing winches. There is tons of storage. both inside the cockpit and below in the cabin. She is really pretty. Fast and Family Safe. A great boat for gunk-holeing the shallow waters of Florida...Or you could happily trailer her to your favorite lake or spend a few weeks exploring a bit of thin turquoise water in the Bahamas. Right now she's in the water in North Palm Beach to view.
