Menger Oysterman 23

I'm looking to see if anyone has experience sailing on/owning a Menger Oysterman 23. It's a skipjack design built by Menger in the late 70s and early 80s.

Specifically, I'm interested in:
-what sea state/winds the boat (and crew) can comfortably handle.
-quality of construction
-known maintenance problem areas
-what owners think of them??

I have found some old brochures/literature online, but cannot find any current owners. The boat has some very interesting qualities that could be what i'm looking for. I just don't know anybody that has sailed one. I'd love to get some info on this intriguing boat.

Thanks for your help.
