The Com-Pac 23/3 (also written 23 III) is the third iteration of the popular Com-Pac 23 pocket cruiser, designed by Clark Mills and built by the Hutchins Company in Clearwater, Florida. At just under 24 feet LOA with a shoal 2'3" draft, the 23/3 is ideal for gunkholing and coastal cruising in thin water. The 3,000-lb displacement with 1,340 lbs of ballast gives the boat a surprisingly stiff and comfortable motion for its size. The cabin offers full sitting headroom, a V-berth, quarter berth, and a compact galley — enough for extended weekends. Com-Pac boats are known for their solid construction and loyal owner community.
