Looking at late 90's 2300, How to tell SE or DV?

[gman1001]

Owner is not sure if its a SE or DV. Boat has a bracket.

Question: is the 2300 model always an SE or DV? Or could it be either?

I've asked current owner for HID#, I'm waiting on that which maybe helpful if I call Parker.

Thanks in advance for the help!

A protractor on a level will tell you the deadrise angle at the stern.

Whoops, I meant to 'reply' to 'gunman1001'...
Anyway, see if it has one, or two 'strakes'. Two strakes = Deep Vee.
This picture is of a DV, with two strakes; it is the Deep Vee.

Great tip! Here is a pic of the bow of the boat in question. Tuff to see but I don’t think it’s a deep V, you?

Thank you! And you are correct. The boat in your picture is not the deep-V model.
(This is an 'edit'... After seeing better close up pictures, there is a consensus, and I fully agree, that the boat is a 'deep-V model)....

Thank you! And you are correct. The boat in your picture is not the deep-V model.

Another picture to confirm. Also, does the bracket look original?

Your first picture here (it's a better 'close-up' than the original post) appears to show a lower, second 'strake' where the black bottom paint is. If so, if there is a second strake, then the boat is a deep-V.... In fact the 'angle/appearance' looks to be deeper than a modified V hull.
From the second photo, it appears that the bracket is original, but more, closer, and clearer photos would help confirm and/or deny this...

Judging by the looks of the bracket, the color of the bracket, where, and how, the control/wires tube, and the hydraulic lines are located, I'd say the bracket is original/factory installed.

It's a DV

Bracket appears to be original

It's a Deep Vee with original bracket. I have the same rig (1999).
