23 Scepter/tsunami with a single flotation bracket and a 250 Yamaha 4stroke would be a an ideal set up. Had a friend that i talked into starting one(one of 6 boats I talked him into). WE could have got the boat up and running pretty cheap, but he had to have it pretty, so the paint and the might as wells kept adding up, buy the time he finished smoking his calculator, he sold the boat at a loss to keep from putting any more money into it. Never keep track of money on a hobby, it takes all teh fun out of it. One otehr reason he sold the 23 was the realization that its a big 23. On the trailer, it felt so much bigger then the 23 Formula that we had fished the year before. It was definitely not a single person use boat. It would have been an awesome boat if we had finished it. BGreen, not trying to be harsh, but judging from what your taste and expectations are from what i saw on your V 21 purchase, in all seriousness, its going to probably take a $25,000+ hull(not counting motor) to satisfy your taste. I've been around a lot of $30,000 running 23 Sea crafts, and they are no where near as clean or as good of shape as your V21. Just keep your limits based on your budget. If your budget can afford it, by all means, go for it
