1) coupe(express), The east coast of Florida generally has a lot of bridges on the ICW, and the express model will fit under most of them without...
Most Captains that I know of do not keep a log on such things, however they do keep the reciepts and in cronological order and can go back through...
If you're not into fishing and venturing very far offshore on a regular basis and not a speed demon, the 23' with the single would be your most...
Not from what I have seen.
I agree with your synopsis on the 92 series. The 71 series are reliable and get enough longevity to warrant a rebuild, but I would swap for C18...
