WTB 23 ARGO or 23 Twister

Does anyone know of one anywhere in Europe that one of these are for sale? I would like one without motor if possible.

I will be putting in container and shipping to US.

Thanks
Glenn

If it's OK I can quote your request to the Finnish boat forums as both boats are made over here. I also know a few local racers so I can ask around if they know of any boats that might be upp for sale. Are you looking for the older open cockpit versions or one with a safety cockpit?

On the Swedish Boat Racing Associations web page there are a couple of options. I don't know how well google translator works but I guess it's worth a shot...

http://www.svera.org/sv/kop-och-salj/

I'll just recap the ones I think match at least partly your needs with the phone numbers translated into international format.

Twister 23
- Comes with a Mercury 150 XR6 -02 with Sportmaster gearcase etc.
- 85.000 kr (~ $12.400)
- Conny Hertz, phone: 00-46-733-77 10 53

Argo Cat 23
- New 2011 model, white
- Christer Jobs, Phone: 00-46-70-5509090

The two above are for sale in Sweden. There's also a Argo Cat 21 for sale in Norway and a Twister 24 with a safety cockpit in Finland.

That looks great. I keep seeing the 2011 argo in google results but cant find it on the page when it opens.

Is there any pictures of it? I would go for the Argo first if i had my choice.

I greatly appreciate the assistance

Unfortunately no pictures in the add.
I'll check tomorrow with the local champs as well to see what might be for sale but not publicly advertised. Good luck with the search!

PS. A great looking STV you have for sale

Yes sure. Is it yours?

My email is gvandegrift@hotmail.com

Is it the wide body style or the older narrow style?

Thank you!

Looks great! Good luck!
