21 vs. 23 Opinions

[pair of jacks]

While I have not been on a 23, I have had a 21 for 6 yrs (bought new). I bought it for the big boat features it has and I have not been disappointed. Its capable of handling rough water, had nice deep freeboard and lots of storage. On the minus side, under console access is tough, anchor access stinks, and I would much prefer a above deck leaning post livewell rather than the in-deck. Many of these downside issues are very common on cc's of all makes. Overall, I love the boat-it allows me to go offshore with confidence or fish the bay shallows. It's more than fast with the 200 Opti on it. Hope this helps.
