I bought mine on ebay for about $25. I can't remember which shock when to which compartment on my 24V but.... I bought 2 of the "Gas Spring GSNI-5150-60 or LGP6-150-60 Strut Prop Rod RV Camper" and 2 of the "Gas Spring SPD-GSNI-5250-45 or LGP6-185-45 Strut Prop Rod RV Camper Hatch Door".

I think my rear center one was two of the 60 lb ones and the two side ones were 1 of the 45 lbs ones. I have no idea if the 2300V used the same parts though. I think I was able to pull the part numbers off the old ones.

From this thread it appears the 21V had

What boat do you have?
Our 2000 21V came with the following gas springs with end style EF-PS30B1:
engine cover - SPD-GS-6984 (SPD-GSNI-5150-60), 15” x 9” x 6”, 6mm x 15mm
storage lockers - SPD-GSNI-5250-60, 18.5" x 11" x 7.5”, 6mm x 15mm
dash compartment - SPD-GSNI-5200-40, 17” x 10” x 7”, 6mm x 15mm
The original no.s from the springs are GS and are now GSNI for the new black nitride shaft series.
Here's a table of what SPD carries: http://www.spdhardware.com/catalog/l...52741324413%7D
The engine cover gas spring was a Tige custom ordered version, but the 5150-60 is close.
The mounting brackets are extra.

Hopefully someone has better info. You can also try emailing Tige. They have helped me in the past if you give your hull number.

I just replaced mine on my 2001 2100v and I used the above quoted post as a guideline. Although my existing side hatches were 90lb so I ordered the SPD-GSNI-2250-90. This ebay link has a chart that should be all the info you'll need.
