See the strake in this picture.

1. Add 420lbs to the original hull (1973 hull weight (2650 lbs) vs 1998 hull weight (3070 lbs)
2. Add 277lbs for the extra fuel (44 x 6.3)
3. Shift the 907lbs (144gallon x 6.3lbs per gallon = 907lbs) of fuel 3+ft forward
4. Use a little trim tab in rough seas

you've got yourself a WET 23.

Not exactly to scale, but you get the idea.

Looks like when R+R rebuilt this 1973 23 seacraft, the size (145gallon replacement tank - 2013 rebuild thread) and location of the fuel tank is very similar to the newer style CSY and Tracker boats. 400lbs of rods holders doesn't help either : ) . . . just kidding. Maybe you would benefit by adding some spray rails. I'm assuming it's somewhat of a wet ride now otherwise you wouldn't be asking about rails???
