The Return of the 23′ Gause Built Boat
The 23′ Gause Built Boat is making its return with a completely reimagined and redesigned approach. Inspired by the performance, layout, and craftsmanship of our current 26′ model, this new 23′ platform brings that same Gause experience into a more compact footprint. It will be approximately three feet shorter and six inches wider than the 26′ we build today, creating a unique balance of space, stability, and versatility. For those who have been waiting for the return of a 23′ Gause Built Boat, this is a new chapter built with the same custom quality and attention to detail that define every boat we produce.
For boaters who want the feel and capability of a larger custom center console in a more manageable size, the 23′ Gause Built Boat is designed to fill that space. This platform is ideal for those who want room to fish, cruise, and spend full days on the water while still keeping the boat easy to trailer, store, and handle. With its wider beam and redesigned proportions, the 23′ is being developed for owners who want a custom Florida boat built for versatility, comfort, and performance without stepping all the way into a 26′ model.

More Than A Comeback
The new 23’ platform has been reimagined to deliver more space, more presence, and expanded capability without losing the core Gause experience. Inspired by the performance and layout of our 26’ builds, this model brings a wider beam and refined proportions into a more compact platform. Every detail, from layout to finish, will reflect the same custom approach our customers expect — with options in materials, colors, and design that allow each build to feel personal and one of a kind. As a custom boat built in Tarpon Springs, Florida, the 23’ is designed to handle real-world coastal conditions with confidence and control.
This model is ideal for boaters who want more room to move, fish, and entertain without stepping into a full 26’ build. Whether you’re running offshore on the right days, cruising the coastline, or spending long afternoons at the sandbar with family and friends, the 23’ offers a balanced platform for it all. It’s a strong fit for those looking to step up from a smaller inshore skiff into something with more capability, while still maintaining ease of use, trailerability, and the custom feel Gause Built Boats is known for. If your time on the water includes a mix of inshore, nearshore, and recreational use, the 23’ platform is designed to meet that versatility.
As with every Gause build, production capacity will be limited to ensure quality and attention to detail at every stage. This is not a production-line boat — it is a custom build, crafted by hand in Tarpon Springs, Florida, with a focus on performance, durability, and timeless design.
If you’ve been waiting for the return of a 23’ Gause Built Boat, this is your opportunity to be part of its next evolution. Whether you’re looking for more space, more capability, or a refined custom platform that bridges the gap between inshore and offshore, the 23’ is designed to deliver.
