I've run a lot in three 23 formulas, two short decks and one long deck, two were Don Arrnow boats, which are quite a bit heavier than the later versions and one was an early Thunderbird. All three were fabulous running back and forth to Bimini. However, very very wet boats and roll was an issue. Most of the time it wasn't bad, but every now and then that hull develops a vicious snap roll, almost throw you out of the boat. The long deck seemed worse in this respect.

I can't compare to a 23 Seacraft, never been in one, but compared to the 25 Seafari, ride is similar, I think the seafari is a little better, the 25 is very very dry, roll is a little less and I have not seen a snap roll yet. Would not be surprized if the 25 developed a snap roll in the wrong chop.
