The 23lx is a good bottom. Had one about 99 and it handled very well. I did have to tighten up everything as far as screws etc but the hull itself was fantastic. A buddy of mine bought it when I upgraded to a larger boat, still has it and it continues to rin well for him. He has a place in BHC.
if you were interested in making an offer for it I could put you in touch with him.
I had a 21 with a jet. It was a very fun boat and reliable. Nothing really special about them, so when they get a scratch or chip it's kinda like whatever. We could just beach and have fun. None of this wipe finger prints or no splashing next to it on the beach stuff to worry about.
