Selecting a 323 Open
Choosing the 323 Opencomes down to a balanced brief of performance, size, and simplicity. With a cruising speed of 35 kn (40.28 mph) and a top speed of 45 kn (51.78 mph), it’s a compelling option if you value fast passages and responsive handling. The 32 ft (9.75 m) LOA and 9 ft (2.9 m) beam keep the footprint manageable, while a 2 m (6.562 ft) draft should be factored into your intended waters.

Owner Experience Review
Owners and operators regard the 323 Openas a capable all‑rounder. Its vacuum‑bagged, deep‑V stepped hull delivers a smooth, notably dry ride in chop and feels composed offshore; multiple broker accounts even cite it as one of the best‑runningIntrepidhulls.
Day‑to‑day use skews versatile: families appreciate the forward electric reclining lounge and ample cockpit seating, while the deck plan offers good storage and ergonomics for a 32' center console. Cuddy versions provide a V‑berth with an electric/pivoting head and modest cabin amenities, and Open versions keep head access inside the console (compact but functional). Owners use it for family cruising, offshore fishing (built‑in fishboxes, a transom livewell, and rod‑holder options), weekend diving via dive doors and swim platforms, and even day charters—listings show operators such as Laidback Key West putting the model to work.
Performance depends on rigging: common reports place cruise around 30–35 knots and top speeds in the 45‑plus‑knot range with higher‑horsepower outboards. On the ownership side, repowers and engine upgrades are common, and brokers note above‑average upkeep costs for a high‑performance, semi‑custom hull; outboards simplify access but require routine service and corrosion prevention in saltwater, with periodic electronics and soft‑goods refreshes part of normal care.
Pros and Cons
- Smooth, dry ride and confident offshore handling from a vacuum‑bagged, deep‑V stepped hull.
- Flexible layouts suit family day trips, offshore fishing, diving, and even day‑charter work.
- Thoughtful ergonomics with ample storage, a forward electric lounge, and a roomy cockpit.
- Performance and efficiency vary with rigging; not all boats deliver the same cruise/top end.
- Upkeep costs trend above average for a high‑performance, semi‑custom build.
- Repowers are common, so budgeting for outboard refresh cycles and corrosion prevention is prudent.
