The se models have 14 degrees deadrise at the transom. The 2300 center console, has 21 degrees.
The se models are great boats for drift fishing and getting in skinny water for light tackle fishing.
Even on rough days, once you reach your destination, the boat is very stable, and will allow the angler to fish very comfortably with little or no rolling.
The downside is you sacrifice ride quality compared to the 21 degree model.
I owned a 21se and the ride quality was greatly improved by slowing down and using the trim tabs.
From what I heard, the 23se has a much better ride than the 21 se.
From what I heard, a 200 hp motor would be more than adeqaute to move a 23se nicely along, but a 225 is probably the optimum setup, especially if a t-top is installed.
