We have the same color F 23, but mine is a 1988 - hard to believe it is 30 years old! I'll try to add pictures later, but I'm having some kind of problem right now with getting them to add using "manage attachments".

Bill, what happens if you just hit the button to add an image, rather than going to Manage Attachmets (the paper clip icon)?

I’m adding a screenshot using the Add Image button now. I select the tab for a picture that is “from computer” rather than “from URL” and hit the button to “upload file.”

I'll try to add more. One of these shows the Todd seat which I installed to take the place of the original leaning post.

Sweet, who made your T-top ? what did they charge you ? looks nice ! I kinda like my leaning post / but your seat looks cool too, what was the damage for that ?
I might go the cheap way out & add the back to my post that fits into the rod holders. What has your max speed gotten up to ? any other info / detail to share ?

Looks great !!

The T-top was already on my boat when I bought it, but I believe it was made and installed in Houston. The Todd seat was about $600 and I did all the modifications to secure it including having a custom made aluminum storage box built as a base.
My top speed I remember reaching is 55mph with the 1996 Merc 250hp EFI OB using a 19"P RH Mirage prop.

Any idea on production #'s for these by year ? any additional cool info you have learned that you can share ? ( things to know ? look out for ? ) any additional pics avail ? your boat is a work of art !

I have no information about production numbers. I have read that many times there are soft spots in the floors and the transoms can be a problem like so many boats. I absolutely love and trust my 30 year old boat which transcends time. Thank you so much for the nice comments about mine! Here is a thread for more info on mine: Bill

Wow! How did you repair the rotted floor?
By the way, I've never seen so much Imron even in an automotive paint store.

It sounds like you cut out the bad sections from above without separating the hull and inner liner - correct? How were the stringers, crossmembers, and transom in your boat?

Thanks. Yes, a wonderful day here at Lake Texoma! I forgot to mention that it ran 56mph on the way back to the marina at the end of the day.

That really is an awesome picture Bill. 56mph for an 8'6 beam and that tower is pretty impressive :yes:

Thanks Greg. We tend to get a fair amount of nice sunsets here in north Texas.

Looks great. I'll need to do something with my Donzi logo's soon. The corners are starting to come off. I like those!
