I am thinking of buying a boat that is listed as an O Day 23, but it has a fixed keel (not a combo CB/fixed), and I thought the listing said it was built in '69. I don't see any keel designs in these pages (or rudder either) which resemble the boat I looked at. It has a very small cabin; enogh room for a v berth and small stowage aft of the berth on each side (suitable for a small stove, perhaps a portable head). The cockpit seemed spacious on the other hand. The tiller is inboard, not over the transom as shown in diagrams. The more I read, the more I think I need to revisit the boat for a closer look and verification of manufacturer & design. Where should I look for identification numbers? On the transom? The owner is a new aquaintance, and is asking $2000. The boat, at first glance seems to be in reasonably good shape considering the age. It's been in storage outdoors for 2 years and needs a good cleaning, and some repair to the cabin ceiling. Any responses helping to clarify/verify this design will be appreciated. Thanks. Update, 8/19/02 pm In looking again at the notes I took before going to see the boat, I noticed that it was referred to as a Tempest, which I found several references to when I searched the archives. Thanks very much for having this information so readily available. Bob E.
