The 23 Classic boasts a 7′ wide by 7′ long cockpit, protected by a transom splashwell. The “well” not only reduces the chances of following seas boarding the boat, it also provides access to service the bilge pump, fuel filter and fuel hoses. On either side of the splashwell there are two comfortable quarter seats; batteries are stored underneath and are conveniently serviced through access hatches under the cushions.
The heavy-duty stern rail provides added security when standing in the cockpit. It also provides a handhold for seated passengers aft and is a great place for rail-mount rod holders.
An aggressive non-skid deck pattern combined with a self bailing cockpit makes the boat easy to clean and maintain. There is a choice for an all white interior cockpit or the traditional Maritime solid grey interior, both which utilize the highest quality gel coats for maximum durability and wear resistance.
