That would be me. A stock 23 hull will run the following speeds with the listed motors.
300 v8 65
twin 200 v6 80
After hull corrections
200 v6 80, super slow acceleration.
225 v6 87 medium slow acceleration
300 v8 100 , fast acceleration
300 v6 100, medium acceleration

The 23 is NOT weight tolorant. Twins make the problems worse. Your wasting your money if you don't get the weight out.
I know, I ran them with twin 200's, 260's and 400 v8's.
We have yet to see a properly setup twin 23. If you running 5 sheets of 3/4 inch sub floor glassed both sides and 500 pounds of interior your beating a dead horse. This is because of bottom flaws. You will have to get the weight out or alter the bottom or both. For twins the bottom correction is made to the outer sponsons starting 6 feet from the back and goes forward, it does not involve cutting the boat.
For a single engine DO NOT CUT the center pod. Been there done that. When done right the boat will run on JUST THE POD. If you get the weight out. I've run 22 Talon's , 21 Daytona's and most of the rest. The 23 Daytona is the best single runabout I've ever driven. When done right. It's bigger, more comfortable, takes more water and RUNS JUST AS FAST. When done right it will run 95 with one 300 Promax and FOUR adults. That's much faster loaded than the others.
It will NOT reach an acceptable level of performance STOCK.
Any questions?Last edited by tunnelfun; 08-07-2018 at 11:44 PM.

23 Daytona
This is what they look like at 100 with a single 275 hp. If you look close you will see that the outside sponsons aren't doing a lot so far as lift.

No, 30 inch custom garage job. The boat runs the same top speed with 18 or 24 but the speed dropped from 95 down to 85 with a 4 person load. In order to punish the big supercharged outdrives on a 100 mile stretch in 2/3 footers with your buddies and two coolers on board you need the 30 inch. I watched a lot of those boats blow their motors trying to run with this boat on the long haul.

Mazco RE3, Chopper, Merc ET, OMC Raker...... They all ran the about same. Wouldn't run with a stock Bravo, at all. A power hog prop.
Fastest was a stock 15.5x32 Merc 4 blade clever. Ran 106 empty, but a loser under 90.
Best all said and done was a stock 15.5x31 Hydramotive Quad 4. Ran 102 empty and 95 loaded.

That boat needs a 3% sponson attack angle to keep the boat dry, it wont run @ 2%. They will be wet. And -2% prop shaft angle to keep it from flipping when the nose lifts. 18 inches required positive trim, eliminating the case as a running surface. The boat uses a transom water pickup. Water contacts the back half of the case. When the nose lifts, the bottom of the case resist boat rotation. If the nose lifts more the case sinks and applies brakes. Going from no case to 3+ inches of case is a lot of drag in a hurry at 100. Very affective.
The 30 inch set back is necessary to balance the boat with 4 people and a full gas load.
At 18 or 24 set back it will run the top speed empty but only 85 loaded. With 30 inches it runs 95 loaded with the average prop.
Study the picture closely. The rear of the sponsons are almost clear of the water. The boat is riding on the center sponson and case. If the nose is run any lower the middle of the sponsons will get wet. The trim is negative. The spray from under the sponson is mist blown forward around the compression curtain and then dripping from the sponson chine edge. The compression can be seen on the water as far forward as the drivers seat.
