The 23 LSV and the 247 LSV have an identical bow and rear locker/engine compartment. The extra 17" in length is all in the main cabin area. The beam is also the same, IIRC. The 247 is massive inside. However, the 23 LSV is still very big and comfortable. And they started making the 23LSV on the new hull back in 2004, so you can find one that is a little older and cheaper than the 247. I have only seen the X-45 at the dealer (and it was very nice). I have sat in the 247 a few times, and I own a 23LSV. I bought my 2004 23LSV with all the important options last fall for 42k, with 107 hours and in mint condition. The only other thing I had to add was PP, which cost just under $1100.
