wesman Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Anyone know of any 23DV's coming up for sale within the next 6 months? I have an 04 PF22 but am starting to venture offshore more and considering a "buddy boat" trip for Bahamas during summers. The 23DV would maybe fit the bill but they are hard to find. Thanks in advance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 They pop up from time to time.. Check the Trader, Yachtworld, THT, and google. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srfrdave Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 There’s one for sale on BT in Ft Lauderdale. A little unique looking with twin 200’s. I only saw it there just now, i know nothing about the boat or the owner. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Twin 200's !? The factory only hung twin 200's (HPDI) on DV's built for Law Enforcement.. Those were amazing performers. May be a repower too.. Only a matter of time before someone repowers 150's to the 200's. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Just looked at the listing, clearly an old FWC vessel. https://www.boattrader.com/listing/2005-pathfinder-23dv-103607427/ Love the 23DV....one day maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesman Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yes I saw the old FWC boat. I like the power but would be concerned about an old Leo boat, driven quite a few of Leo work boats and they take a beating from time to time. If the price comes down maybe but in the meantime, I'll keep looking. There also one in Illinois that if it's still up in August, I could travel for. Thanks for keeping an eye out!!

Moderator Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 The 200 HPDI's made the DV fly. The hulls are so strong, I wouldn't worry about a LEO boat.. Just check for impacts and repairs. Paying for the two new F200's is no treat, though.. I will keep an eye open. Will be in the Keys for a stretch. Plenty of them down there. May see one with a for sale sign..

Nag Juice Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 One thing about government boats I’ve learned is the maintenance is always done to spec by qualified people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a charter boat for 10 years and it was clearly well used and it is still solid as a rock, I'm sure that one is fine. Look at it this way....if it hasn't broken by now, it' isn't going to. 200's that thing much move out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesman Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Well, I had a deposit on one but it failed a compression test so, still looking for a DV if anyone knows of one for sale..... It was not the one listed above, that owner is actually a close friend and that boat is a beauty, I am just currently looking for one with a single for now. Seeing that boat and fishing it is what made me sell my PF 22 for a DV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srfrdave Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 There’s a 2002 on THT for like 28k. With a F225 on it. It looks like it need a little work. Paint on hull and probably could use a paint job on entire boat. No relation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesman Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I spoke with that owner briefly but communication is spotty at best. Based on my last DV deal falling through due to a compression check, I need to get the motor checked out but I haven't back from the owner. I just wish someone was as just eager to sell a 23DV with a single as I am to buy lol. Personally, I was hoping I could find forum owner willing to sell but that doesn't look promising. Thanks again for looking out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesman Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Bludog, I'm under contract and headed to pick up the one with low compression in a day, otherwise, I'd send you the info. It's one that was listed in Illinois, originally from Boca Raton. I'm in for a drive lol. I'm gonna get it at the right price to repower!!!

Bludog Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Congrats. Was it represented well? Get it home safe? Would not envy that drive and not knowing the trailer condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
