Hi Gchop

This is a if you answer from one man’s opinion who has a 23 CC with a single motor. If you are going to run your boat with one engine I would not raise the deck because you really don’t need to. You could keep at the same height with or with out a bracket. If you are going to run 2 motors I would raise the deck. SeaCraft 23 is a 8 foot beam boat and today’s motors are a lot heavier than they were when the hull was built that’s why all new boats that run 2 motors now a today have beam around 9 feet. Since you cant make your boat wider you can raise the deck 3 inches and compensate for twins with or without a bracket. The 23 has a lot of freeboard and 3 inches would not cause a safety risk by someone falling overboard. There are a lot of guys on the board that run twins and have not raised the deck but for me if I had to re do that deck anyway AND I was planning on running twins I would.
