I completely re-did a 23 straight inboard last winter and was originally going to go diesel, but decided mainly becasue of price to just go gas. The boat is very dry, rides incredibly and can plain at a low speed due to the weight distribution so you can ride in a heavy sea at a pretty good clip. the only downside to an inboard is speed, They are 22-25 knot cruise boats. I hear the ride is better than the outboard versions, BUT...I don't have enough recent time on a 23 outboard to justify that claim, its just what a couple guys have told me. I would be interested in learning from people here with experience on both about the difference in ride quality.
