23' with spray rails

[JT]

Just curious, while I was down at Jackson Marine in Ft.Laud., I saw a seafoam green older 23 center console which had custom spray rails on the lowest point of the hull sides(just below the boot stripe) Are these 23s wet boats????? at all???? It also had a large 3" pvc hole in the transom, went in about 2 feet darkness, couldn't figure why? below the water line Is this a member's boat?
