I to have a 23ft Cobalt bow rider, it is a older one with a deep V hull. It handles the big lake great, I would not take a shallow hulled 23footer on the lake though, just my opinion, but I am of the basis as I like to be in the boat, and not on top of it. I like that when I drive or sit in the boat or even stand I am at least at my waist in all parts of the boat, most cases higher free board, when driving windshield is at my chest and I am 5'10"
