Today, I found a 1994 v21 cuddy with a 1994 150 yamaha for sale at a reasonable price.

Does anyone have any experience, knowledge or opinions about this particular hull.

The transom is different - does it still have a plywood core?

Wood stringers?

The boat has the same freeboard (on the outside), but the gunnels (on the inside) are lower than on v20s.
The cockpit floor is about 6 " higher. Does anyone know why?

The brochure on this site lists the weight at about 2500 (hard for me to read on my computer) , but v20s were listed at 1920 lbs if I remember right. Where is the extra weight coming from?

Any thoughts, answers or ideas would be appreciated.

Also, I am an old rude boy, but I have only heard good things about these yamahas.
