I didnt know you were talking about Kieth, I know he know what hes doing. Big difference in boats, every model runs different depending on the power options they were ORIGINALLY designed for... You sure it is the 23T?? Lori Marie is a 25 Open I thought for sure? What year is his boat and power? I know hes had the boat a while...I thought he had F250's on there. That boat was originally designed for 200 HPDIs... Reason I ask is they were hanging 4 strokes on the Pre 2006 models and it was to much wieght so they redesigned the 25 Open Hull in 06 to the New G2 Hull. 1300 lb motors is a lot of wieght back there. Throw another 385lbs of water in the livewell.. Or does he have the 23T with twin 200 HPDIs?? The Pre G2 hull was NOT designed for the additional wieght of the four strokes...I went with the 25 this year with the F250's. Still economical and easy to trailer. My 21 originally had a 200 HPDI, then I repowered with a 300HPDI, got a good price on it and the 200 was getting tired....
