a 23' trailerable deep vee sedan cruiser
The RAVEN is a genuine cruiser in the truest sense. From a distance, her lines will deceive you; she has the appearance of a 35 footer! And yet, this is a boat you can trailer legally to your favorite port of call. With a full length deep vee hull and a fuel capacity of 50 gallons, you can call any cruising area your home without fear of getting caught out when a chop kicks up. Her 40 gallon fresh water capacity means there is plenty of water to supply that optional shower you'll find so pleasurable on extended cruises.
It's rare to have two cabin privacy on a boat this size, but RAVEN will provide it for you. The trunk cabin has a large full width vee berth that will spaciously sleep two adults, and can even sleep three in a pinch. There's a large hanging locker here, plus plenty of shelf and storage space for all the gear you'll need. You can install a large ice box or refrigerator and the galley area is still roomy enough for a double bowl sink, several drawers, a stove, and lockers. The full standing headroom in the well lit deckhouse makes cooking a joy. The toilet room is fully enclosed and provides space for a self-contained head as well as optional shower. The dinette has a unique reversible seat which provides a helmsman seat in the forward position and a dinette seat when facing aft. The dinette also converts to form a full length, full width berth with lots of extra storage space under as well.
