The tipping point for having the motor mounted too high is not a blurry line that is hard to find and unless you are running your boat on a glass flat pond, don't be thinking you will be able to get away with a 20 inch motor..... because you won't without putting a snorkle on it.
Thanks Moose.. Exactly what i wanted to hear... ur boat tuned for your engine with height and prop and load... and No worries.. not getting a Snorkel for 23' think i found a 25" yamaha today...
