That's a ways out there for a 23 ft boat. They will get a little tippy in a drift(narrow beam and deep deadrise) and they are not quite as big as the 233 Formula. If you run one and the ride isn't good, the captain doesn't know how to drive it. The worst conditions I've been fishing in a small boat, i was in a 23 SeaCraft, and it handled it well.

Interesting . Well…..my V21 is quite stable on the drift , and isnt a wet ride so that gets high marks . The deck stays dry ( no water up the scuppers ) with my 200 hp HO and more than one fishermen as well. I understand the Seacraft has an issue with water up the scuppers
