You need a set of stern lifting props.

I have a friend with a 23' SeaCraft "Savage" model which is basically a Sceptre that has had the windshield removed and a center console added. He runs that exact setup (twin Yamahas F150's) the boat seems ass heavy and sits at rest pretty deep in the water in the stern. Very noticeable, even with the weight of the cabin up front. He does have an Aluminum hardtop/tower though.

The hole shot is pretty strong, but not 2 stroke strong due to the weight. He gets about 50 mph at WOT which I think it pretty good. I don't know what RPM he is running at WOT. But based on the hole shot and the WOT, he might be a candidate to run a slightly lower prop pitch to help with the COG/weight so far back as his motors are mounted on a non-floatation bracket. IMO, its border line too much weight back there.

First the bracket, and twins, take into consideration the location of the fuel tank.if there is a well or storage bin forward of the console.tank is aft,batts etc....that boat is gonna sit a lot different than most.nice look but whats best for a 23
