The T23 Explorer is perfect for a day out on the water with family and friends or a weekender at marinas in the San Juan Islands. The roomy v-berth is accommodating. This model is well equipped with a Mercury 175 DTS engine with Activetrim, bimini and aft-enclosure, aft sunlounge, Simrad chartplotter and VHF radio, fusion stereo and speakers, pressurized freshwater system, dual battery and switch, windshield wipers and more…
The build quality of the boat compared to others in this category is superior. Clean and organized wiring to proper fuse panels, finished inner hull liners, quality through-hull fittings, access hatches for easy maintenance and installation, great use of space and additional rear cockpit L-shape lounge and teak table. The full aft enclosure extends the room on the boat in the cooler spring and fall months to keep you out of the weather for comfortable year-round cruising.
The on-the-water performance is excellent. The boat cruises at 25MPH – 4,200 RPMs with efficient fuel usage of ~8 GPH at that speed. Top-end speed is around 40 MPH with the 200HP Mercury. This boat offers a lot of features in a 22′ boat that is perfect for exploring the Puget Sound, San Juan and Gulf Islands.
