If you fish much as in trolling, the 300 doesn't like it! Has issues with fowling plugs. A lot of the fishing guys got rid of them for this reason but you can pick them up pretty cheap and there are a lot of them! The new 300 is amazing though. That would be the ideal engine for a 23 I believe. Lighter weight, get fuel burn, lots of power and great gadgets! I have an ox66 250 on my 23 and am happy with it. I don't have much for fuel burn numbers but once I get the new bracket I will install the fuel management gauge. I have an extra 25" ox66 250 if you just want to get your boat powered again shine.
