Strick, I'm gonna differ just a bit:
Because of the forward cg and weight difference, and how those affect the ride in a moderate to heavy chop, I'm gonna go with the 23' Savage and the 27' SeaMaster.
The 27' SeaMaster rides better than most 33'-35' offshore boats and significantly better than even the Tracker 32' SeaCraft.
Honorable mention to the 18' Center Console which has a better ride in a chop than the 20 SF and the 20' Seafari (Both of which I love.) Because of the heavy boat traffic here in Choctawhatchee Bay, the average Saturday or Sunday inshore conditions is always a moderate to heavy chop from May through September. Boat wakes.
Downside of the 18' is a propensity to get airborne offshore at anything over 20 kts in 2' seas or higher if the wave period is less than 5 seconds.
