1972 23' Seacraft

[edloh]

Hello there,

i am new to this board. found this board as i was looking to buy a DIY 1972 23' seacraft
noticed that the 1972 does not have the "plannning steps" at the transom compared to the 73 model. further the inside of the 72 does not have the recessed handrail. would appreciate some feedback on the following question.
- obviously there is a good reason why so many of these boats are being restored.....
- how does a 23' ride in a 3 foot seas? looks like the 72 has a deeper v?
- does it plane well at low speed 15-20mph? it looks like the hull on the 73 planes much better then the 72?
- does the 1973 and up model rides better than the 72 and older?
- are these hull dry when quatering seas with 10mps winds?
thank you
