I think that I will pass on the whole deal. It all seems like way too much trouble than what it is worth. Good luck fixing your boat, and good luck doing something with the e-23.

Larry, It seems like you are not willing to part with the trailer. That's all good and well. If you can use it to save your boat, then do it. There's no need to be selfish and sacrifice a halfway decent boat in order to get a really crappy boat to my yard. I am unable to get ahold of a...

a "dignified" response First off, I would like to thank the members of this site for their help, advice, knowledge, and support. "Larry" if that's who you really are, I find this all too weird that you would find me on this site talking about the exact same boat that you now have possession...

E-23 Finally got in touch with the seller guy yesterday after trying to call him a few times monday. He says that he gave the boat to "Steven" who was supposed to take it to the salvage yard. The salvage yard hasn't bought or received a boat in over 6 months. The seller says that he will try...

E-23 gone??? I called the salvage yard today, they haven't bought a boat in over 6 months. The guy that I was told to talk to wasn't there, but the guy that I did talk to said that another guy that works there bought a boat a week or so ago. IDK. I tried to call the seller once again, no...

I have all the information on the salvage place, even called them, but it's sunday and they are closed. I'm going to call first thing in the morning. I do plan on calling and talking in a calm, detached sort of way and trying to negotiate a good deal...this is too good of a deal to pass up...

still my E-23??? Excuse me while I do some ranting and raving in the process of asking for some advice. The asshole guy that I'm getting the boat from supposedly received some citation for having the boat and 3 different vehicles in his yard, so he sold all of them to the junk yard. I have a...

E-23 hull speed Does anybody know what the hull speed is on the centerboard E-23??? I was thinking that I could get a good used roller furling unit for pretty cheap compared to a brand new one. The boats that I've sailed on before all had a roller furling unit on them, so I'm not really...

e-23 Steve, It sounds like you've had your boat out in some pretty nasty weather. I don't really think that I want to try that right now. I figure that I'll be doing most of my sailing in the intracoastal waterways around Tybee Island, GA. I've always wanted to be the guy on the sailboat...

e-23 Does anybody have an owners manual for the e-23, or know where I can get one from? How does this boat handle in waves and stuff? Would I be alright to take it out into the ocean if the seas were pretty low? What if I wanted to anchor just off shore overnight? I've looked at charts, and...

Sleather, that's not a bad idea, storing the boat in dry storage at a marina. I might consider that in the future. I was liking the idea of having the boat here at home and using it as a "man cave." I know that it's mighty small in there, but it would work for now. TL, $200 for a sweet...

E-23 I spoke with the guy that I got the boat from about the title before I even went down to see the boat, and it's all there. Clean and clear title. TL, nice boat. Good choice in colors and it looks great. Thanks for the offer on the stuff. I'm gonna take you up on it, but it will be a...

The mast is on the starboard side of the deck, it doesn't have one of those nice mast carriers like yours has. That would be nice.The boom is inside with the mainsail wrapped around it. I didn't even bother to look at the sail, kinda scared to, but It looks like all of the standing rigging is...

I think that my truck will pull the boat easily. I pulled my car on a heavy lowboy trailer once, and hardly noticed that it was there. The truck has 2 piston brake calipers on the front with disks on all four corners. The trailer doesn't have any brakes at all, I really don't think that I'll...

I have a very limited knowledge of the boats history. I came across it while looking through Jacksonville's Craigslist. My wife and I took the trip down there last weekend, looked at the boat and spoke with the owner. It turns out that this man rents out houses and one of his former tenants...
