Hi,

I have been on a 23 regulator a few times and just purchased a few months ago a 1998 23 seacraft with a 2004 225 optimax. In My opinion the seacraft rides very softly in the rough stuff(similar to the regulator but has a little bit of a lighter feel which i don't mind), its more efficient, I get about a 30 mph cruise and 43 top speed with the 225 optimax. I would say the regulator has some nicer features depending on the years.Also the seacraft does not seam to rock as much in a chop which I like. This is purely my opinion but I have been on older seacrafts and the newer ones ride the same to me(I could have purchased a restored 23 or a newer 23 and chose the newer one)One thing I do like about the 1998 23 seacraft is the 150 gallon fuel tank which gives it very far range. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
