Yeah they all will mostly selfbail at rest sittin in a slick creek.
Every older Seacraft I have been on, twins/singles, motor on transom/motor on bracket, floor raised/not raised, etc.... have always had wet floors at some point.
My 83' 23ft I redid, I raised the floor 4.5 inches, moved the gas tank forward, had a bracket, 2 stroke yammy 225hp would still have water in the floor on occasions. Most of my fishing and rigging is done at the back of the boat so there was always 2-3 people in the back and 50gals live well and fishing in at least 2-3 swell with a wind chop. Usually there was water in the boat. (Harkers Island Nikes, Wanchese Slippers what ever you want to call them are a must (White Boots)).. Defianltly does not scare me away from the boats. Shoot about any boat I have been on under 25' has a draining problem when you are in seas with the crew at the back. Only the 30ft's and up I have been on self bail really good. (Contender,Yellowfin,HydraSprot).

IMO I would never own a older 23' that has not had the floor raised. From my past experiences the Seacrafts I have been on without the floor being raised had wet floors all day.

Shoot even my 77' MA I raised the floor 5". It selfbails good but there have been times where I said damn another inch or two be nice. Refering to the floor that is :-0
