I may want to keep the boat on a trailer to save on slip costs and the 20 would be easier to work on and off the trailer.

With a little practice and a drive-on type trailer, a 23 is no more difficult to load and unload from a trailer.
Please note, I said "with a little practice". Take a slow ramp day and drive the boat up onto the trailer 20-25 times. Drive it up, then back it down, go around in a big circle and do it again. If you make three such practice-only trips to your local ramp, and practice first in calm weather, then in one day moderately windy weather, and finally actually practice in rainy/nasty weather, you'll never fear the boat ramp again.
