Hi, I know databases can be a pain to deal with, but I cannot get any search to work for me, always telling me nothing was found. I've tried: e23 E23 "E23" E23* What do I need to do? I'd like to find other interesting threads regarding E23's. Thank you. Marshall

Jeff, thanks for the info. I've seen that Sailing Magazine article. It's helpful. I know how easy it is to spend money on a boat, my father was into motor boats for ocean fishing. He loved Boston Whalers in the 20+ ft size. Loren and Fred, thanks for your input. Much of what I know...

Please Post Your Opinions Would really appreciate some opinions about this E23. I'm NOT asking anyone if I should or should not buy it. I just don't know what may be a serious flaw or a costly repair and would appreciate help from others with more experience and knowledge. I apologize for...

Chaco, You're in the right place (Oceanside, Ca) to mention the use of Marines, huh? :)

Yes, the 6hp is a 2 cylinder, 2 stroke. I didn't know about the banning of 2 strokes in any marinas. Thanks, I'll ask around about it. The newer Yamaha 4 stroke outboards are around 100 pounds, if I recall. I have not checked other brands, but I know that at the prices I've seen new ones...

When I found the year of the Yamaha 6hp engine online, by referencing the product number, I saw that the weight of the engine is 57 pounds, if I recall. It's a 2 cyl, 2 stroke. The 3hp Yamaha, I failed to look for and make a note of any tags on it. But I was not able to try it, unless I...

Hi Fred! I appreciate your feedback. I just posted a new thread here. Since I saw the boat Wednesday, instead of this coming weekend, I was able to post many observations and ask for others to offer their opinions. Dockside power is fine, but if you're using the battery power while...

If you've read my active thread, asking for suggestions/advice on what to look for on a '76 E23 I may buy, at: http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=7466 , I DID visit the boat yesterday, (Wednesday), with an experienced Ericson owner (E25) and experienced at what to look...

Hi Steve, thanks for the info. Here, I'll reply to each of the comments you made, since I went and looked over the E23 yesterday (Wed), with an experienced E25 owner that was very generous with his time and knowledge. (Thanks again, John!) This E23 has the standard link on the cockpit floor...

First off, this is NOT my boat. I replied to an ad I found for it, the owner called me and we spoke for awhile. He seems very knowledgeable on this E23 and sailboats in general. This is an early E23, he says the Hull number is #9, if I recall. If this E23 is as he described, I'd...

John, Thanks for the info and offer. Just sent you a private message. Wed is okay with me, but I need to see if the owner is available. Would like to exchange numbers.

So are these flags still available? If I do buy the E23 I'm considering, I'd like to get one. http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?p=48082#post48082 By the way, the design would look cool on a T-Shirt / Sweatshirt. The design on the front and this website's link in bold...

A few E23 MkII questions that I hope E23 owners can answer for me. Do all MKII's have the traveler track across the cockpit or across the cabin's roof? Since I believe the E23 was marketed or described as a Racer/Cruiser, I'm wondering if they all came with the track, or did some come with a...

Thanks, Steve. Today, I sent you a private note here.

Hi, new member here. A newbie in more ways than one. (You can view how much so in my thread at: Design & Function > Newbie Seeking Help/Info on Buying a 1976 E23 Wondering if there are gatherings or events (Ericson related) in the San Diego area... Thanks! Marshall
