Friends of Mine that hungs 4S off the back have to use alot of Tab, or even but wieght up front, anchor...
I loved my 21, Never Ever did I feel unsafe in it and I ran out in just about everything, never missed a commercial day, tourney cause of weather. Rarely did I ever cancel a charter. Its an awesome handling boat in rough weather. i looked forward to fishing 20 Knots Plus.... I did have two near sinkings, but that was my fault... Went bigger to save the back and joints some, and to make my charters a much more pleasure... My first motor on that 21 had 2000 hours, I had way, way more anchor / drift time on her... Definately miss that boat.... And I would not put a TTOP on that boat! I dont know of a better riding true 21 on the Market, that 24.5 degree dead rise is awesome.... No other boat has it in its class.
There's nothing like a 21 'tender in buzzards bay with gale conditions. A little bumby, official tough guy tattoo required, a little wet, dry suit and tanks......ahhh, what a day.

rather be fishin'

High pressure Direct Injection... Just like Merc DFI.. Nearly twice the efficiency as the older 2 strokes and less oil consumption...

You have the Saltwater Series EFI. Remember you were thinking of upgradijng to the direct injection motor? That is the HPDI.

The big block HPDI's are fuel efficient... Only run on 4 cylinders under 1800 RPM... Great reliable motors. I think yamaha currently just makes a 200... Everything is going direction of 4S...
