Default Re: 1974 seacraft 23 ....looking to buy

I agree, those inboards are wave crushers, and are very stable at rest when fishing. It's like standing on a dock. You give up speed, they usually cruise at 22-25 and top out at 30-33. The only thing about them is they seem to be heavy in the back. They usually have 2 50 gal saddle tanks right in the back. If you can move anything forward it helps them. At the very least, put some big bennet tabs on it, and you can help get the back end out of the water.
