Well, I have probably about 200 - 250 hours on it over the past few years. I was my neighbors and I just bought it off him. Depends what you want to do - and there is always a sacrifice of this vs that.

I personally love the boat. Its very much a tank and has the sort of utilitarian / commercial styling I liked. Putting a custom pilot house on it really made a difference both in looks and I feel in overall satisfaction. It can be a little wet, but can take very heavy water. We fish the rips off Chatham and have been through some snotty stuff with it. I never had a fear, well maybe but not due to the boat. The only drawback for some is that it is a heavy boat, but I feel the 21 feels / fishes like a lot bigger craft. What do you plan to power with?

i am in a similar situation as you - where I wont use it much due to young children for the next few years, but as you say - the deal was right. I am not looking back - in fact I just bought a pair of wire line rods at CMS this morning for it.
