I think if you take the basic 23, with a single 200-225, which is what they were designed for, with no t-top, or a small to med top, they roll a little, but not dangerous.

If you put a monster top on one with a 4' radar array, put a crows nest/lookout up there, and put a huge floatation bracket with a couple big horses on the back, I think it sits lower in the the water than the original intent, and both the center of gravity, and balance are off. I don't know if I would call it unsafe, but maybe unstable, they do roll around. When Moseley designed these, whether by luck, or design, he really hit on something.

I do alot of "power drifting" bottom fishin, and more often than not, my stern is pointed south, and the wind/wave is from the east, so I am taking these sideways. The boat does rock, and I have had a few that leaned it pretty hard.
