I had a 2300 for 2 seasons & sold it earlier this year. No doubt it's a quality built boat. You could get run over by a destroyer & still remain afloat. It does however have some shortcomings. If your going to seriously fish it, due to the narrow rear deck, four rods become a bit crowded. The boat is not a dry boat. You can wear out a pair of wiper blades in a season. The biggest drawback I had was it's handling while trying to dock. Admittedly, I don't possess the best seamanship skills. But due to the hull design, the boat does not respond well at low rpm's. When trying to get it into a slip among other boats in a moderate wind became real pucker time. I ended up taking it to a marine shop where we took some aluminum bar stock & welded a keel down the centerline of the bow. It helped some but still not perfect. If your going to just trailer the boat then it's not as much an issue vs getting into & out of a slip. Others may have a different take on it, but do take one for a test drive & see how well you can handle it.
