SeaCraft 23: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Seacraft SC-23 Tournament Edition is a meticulously designed center console boat tailored for serious anglers and tournament fishermen. Certified by the NMMA and SKA Tournament Ready, this model embodies a blend of elegant styling and functional features that enhance both performance and onboard comfort. Its design, crafted by Carl Mosley, incorporates a refined Deep V hull with variable deadrise and a longitudinal step, delivering a smooth ride, stability, and efficient speed.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Measuring 26 feet 1 inch overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 23 inches with engines raised, the SC-23 Tournament Edition offers a thoughtfully arranged deck for ease of movement and fishing efficiency. A notable feature is the single-level access from stern to bow, facilitating safe and unobstructed movement during tournament conditions. The bow area features a high freeboard with bolsters that wrap around, and flush-mounted handrails positioned below the gunnel line for secure grip without obstruction. Fuel fill is conveniently located at the bow for easy access at fuel docks. Storage compartments are integrated into the floor, including pump access centrally located. The cockpit depth aft is 24.5 inches, with a centerline height of 30 inches, providing ample space for anglers.
Console and Fishing Amenities
The center console is powder-coated as an option, enhancing durability and aesthetics. It includes five vertical rod holders on each side, maximizing rod storage capacity. The windshield is frameless at the top, ensuring an unobstructed view for the operator. Seating is well-padded with flip-up bolsters, allowing comfortable standing or seated operation. The console houses a lockable electronics bay and covered switches to protect against water intrusion. Bow trim switches are conveniently located near the throttle, with options for alternate placement. The boat is equipped with digital throttle and shift controls, Mercury SmartKraft analog-digital gauges, and tackle storage beneath the seating.
Fishing Support Features
The SC-23 Tournament Edition is equipped with multiple live wells and storage solutions to support serious fishing activities. Forward of the console, a pressurized 20-gallon bait well is flanked by 42-gallon fish lockers on either side. Under the gunwales, rod racks accommodate three rods per side, with optional reel guard carpeting. At the stern, a pressurized bait well and a 5.5-gallon pitch well on the starboard quarter provide additional live bait storage. A removable bait station on the stern enhances versatility. The transom includes a rocket launcher rod holder and stainless steel drink holders, a feature uncommon in this class. The axle locker reveals a well-organized and clearly labeled immersed pump system with easily accessible cutoffs. Storage boxes on either side of the cockpit offer space for gear and catch.
Performance and Specifications
The SC-23 Tournament Edition rides on a hull with an average deadrise of 20.5 degrees, optimized for blue water fishing conditions. The hull's variable deadrise and longitudinal step create three distinct planning surfaces that contribute to stability, fuel economy, and speed. Fuel capacity is substantial at 179 gallons, complemented by a 9-gallon freshwater tank. The boat's draft and hull design aim to provide a comfortable and efficient ride, although detailed performance testing results are pending.
Conclusion
The Seacraft SC-23 Tournament Edition stands out among mid-sized center consoles with its thoughtful design features tailored for tournament fishing. Its combination of single-level deck access, extensive rod and tackle storage, live wells, and ergonomic console layout make it a practical choice for serious anglers. While performance testing is forthcoming, the boat’s design and amenities suggest it will meet the demands of both professional and recreational fishermen seeking a reliable and well-equipped fishing platform.
