Owner Experience Review
Owners use the 23 Center ConsolefromREGULATORfor exactly the kind of split duty many coastal families want: "I bought this boat to be able to run 50–60 miles offshore and fish then turn around and take the family out to the beach." The 24°-deadrise hull has been praised for slicing through capping waves with a surprisingly smooth ride, planing into a head sea around 25 mph, showing best economy near 29 mph at 4,000 rpm, and topping out around 47–48 mph. Multiple owner threads describe a “big-boat” feel in a 23-footer—heavier and seemingly slower until the speedo proves otherwise—and note that the solid hull tracks well in chop.
Day-to-day versatility also shows up onboard. Owners report ample storage for tackle and rods (twin lockers forward, a large in-deck fishbox, and leaning-post stowage), plus forward seating and a fold-out transom bench that make family beach runs comfortable. An insulated cooler under the console is frequently cited, and some later boats add a stand-up head and improved console ergonomics. Trailerable weekend trips are common, though several owners point out that it tows on the heavy side.
Long-term ownership notes reflect incremental design improvements over the years. Earlier boats had a notched transom/engine-well seam that benefited from diligent sealing, while later designs moved the engine well into the cap to eliminate that seam. Batteries were relocated under the console for better serviceability, and around 2005 owners noted a new bilge-access hatch behind the livewell. Refit and repower are common on older examples—twin Yamaha 150 two-strokes were known guzzlers—so upgrades to modern fours can improve starting and reliability, albeit with added cost and some weight. As one refit owner summed up trailering: “She tows heavy.”
Pros and Cons
- Offshore ride and seakeeping from a 24°-deadrise hull that planes into head seas around 25 mph.
- Big-boat feel and solid tracking in chop with verified top speed around 47–48 mph and best economy near 29 mph at 4,000 rpm.
- Family-friendly layout with forward seating, fold-out transom bench, abundant storage, and an insulated console cooler; some later boats add a stand-up head.
- Heavier-than-average hull tows heavy and can increase transport and service costs.
- Earlier boats had a transom/engine-well seam that required sealing, though later designs eliminated it.
- Older twin two-stroke setups are thirsty; repower to modern fours improves reliability but is costly and can add weight.
