Aviva is one bad bitch!!

[Big Jon]

Greetings all from sunny south Florida.  Today must be the day of the 23D as I see somebody else stole my thunder but that's ok!! I just happened upon a 1997 23D in an estate sale down here.  Prior owner was a bad ass! Navy Seal retired bought the boat at 84 yrs old in Cape Canaveral and sailed it to Jenson Beach with his child hood buddy.  Had a stroke shortly after.  Just a right place at the right time and a poorly written Craigslist ad with one bad picture and no info other than estate sale and no price on the ad.  I had a tiny budget and landed a whale!! Aviva!!

Sounds like you are a lucky dog!

They say every dog has his day, so I guess I was up.  Cleaning her up the last couple days.  Ordering new gaskets for the portholes and attending to small issues to keep her water tight.  In the process I am falling in love with Stuart FL and Hutchinson Island.  The slip is paid until year end than if I want I can keep the old slip at 150 per month.

Pictures!

It is amazing how much fun it can be to do work; boat work that is!

$150/Mo slip rental seems  reasonable for a 23' if you like the location.
