DE23 question for Jacques

Post by Reid »

Jacques,

This question came in regarding the Down East 23' - DE23:

"I was wanting to know if this boat be built with an inboard. Also can the car cabin be removed and have a self bailing center console type deck arrangement?"
Someone asked me, if I were stranded on a desert island what book would I bring... "How to Build a Boat."

Sorry, no inboard option.

Yes, you can omit the cabin and build a console but why not start with a console boat like the C21?

Yes also look at other boats, the Abaco 23 or the CS23. Both can be made center console boats.
