Incredible job, that is a nice ride, with some familiar flair you don't often see in a 23'. I grew up a few miles from 2 major boat plants in Beaufort and have not seen a 23'er with prettier lines.

WOW! indeed.... I would imagine replacement in today's dollars from a plastic company between 80K and 120K... 23 feet is/has always been a perfect size for someone like me here in Florida.....the perfect Florida boat. I was leaning heavily towards the CS 23 for the not so distant future boat when the Abaco 23 surprised me.

That boat is drop-dead-gorgeous. Absolutely lovely lines. Just look at that fore-foot! Slice a 4 footer headsea without flinching!
I now know without a doubt or hesitation why the chicken crossed the road.....

....it was to show the armadillo it could be done.

Any idea what the GPH (fuell burn) is? Cust curious due to the low weight of the craft. Excluding the motor, final build cost? Great job!

Geo, final cost depends on epoxy used, outfitting, engine, etc. but figure 30-40000.
