Hard to find 23' Can you help?

[Seaplane1978]

I'm looking for a hard-to-find classic that my father once owned years ago. Anyone know of a limited production boat under the name of INTERNATIONAL built out of Miami years ago? This was one of the biggest 23' Cuddy Cabin built and was considered to be one of the best riding boats. I would like to find a "project" hull and cut out the transom to mount twin 115's. This rigging proved to be one of the best in its class. If anyone knows any info on this company, I'd sure like to hear from ya!

Never heard of the International and I've been a boater in Miami for over 30 years. That dosen't mean much as Miami seems to be a hub for builders who come and go. Best bet for you would be to keep tabs on boats in the Trader online web site or Boat Trader magazine - south Florida edition available at convenience stores.

You are correct there is such a boat. I had one about 4 years ago. I never completed the project and dumped the hull in a landfill but it is a very heavy well built boat.The owner before me used to take it offshore 45 miles all the time.

I apperciate the link! I'm not sure if that's the same hull or not. John Almund produced a "copy" hull when they produced a 23' cuddy with slightly different glass. Sure is hard to find any of these around!
