Owner Experience Review
Owners run the 23byREGULATORhard offshore and for long day-trips; several report 50–60 mile runs on the 23 FS layout with a smooth, confidence‑inspiring ride. The deep‑V hull (about 24° at the transom, as reported) slices through capping waves and tracks predictably, and independent reviews consistently characterize it as a high‑performance fishing machine with responsive throttle at cruise.
Beyond fishing, many use the 23for family beach outings and occasional short overnights. Fit‑and‑finish is regarded as above average for the size, the layout is practical, and on certain model years or FS versions there are compact cabin/head installations that provide shelter when needed; one owner simply summed it up as “everything is VERY solid.”
Ownership notes are pragmatic: the boat is robust but “tows heavy” when trailering or relocating; many older 23boats originally had twin Yamaha 150 two‑strokes that owners describe as thirsty and finicky to start after sitting, so repowering to modern four‑strokes is a common path. Owners also distinguish between the original 23 and the 23 II—citing differences in fuel capacity and max horsepower (roughly 150 gallons vs about 184 gallons on the II), which matters for range and service‑interval planning.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V ride (about 24° deadrise reported) that slices through capping waves and stays smooth in chop.
- Confident, stable handling with responsive throttle and predictable tracking.
- Practical, well‑finished layout with compact cabin/head available on some versions for short overnights.
- Tows heavy, requiring extra attention for trailering and transport.
- Older twin Yamaha 150 two‑strokes are thirsty and can be finicky to start after long sits.
- Differences between original 23 and 23 II in fuel capacity and max horsepower complicate range and service planning.
