I'm right with you on this - and also believe the spec in 96' remained at 60 gallons.
I believe 80-100 gallons would be better so we could make those long runs without concern. Then again, I'm not really going to take my V21 60 + miles offshore, even with full safety gear. Three hours running each way ? And what if conditions deteriorate to 4'-6' chop ?

I'd rather go in a 61' Viking Sport Fishing boat equiped with fully stocked refrigerator / freezer, etc....... Problem is, I can't afford to even rent one of these boats, that's why I have a V21.
