Just thought i'd introduce myself. My name's Chris, i live in Southwest Florida very close to Charlotte Harbor/Boca Grande (great fishing territory!) I purchased this 95 Wellcraft v21 earlier this month. It's my first boat, and i'm pretty excited about it. Not very educated on boats but i'm learning alot quickly.

I've taken it out a few times with the family and it's been a blast! I've got boatin/fishin fever, wish i could be on the water everyday

Welcome! I too have a 95 V21. Great boat and perfect for the family. Please post more pics. I have a bunch up in the V21 Gallery section. Our boats look a lot alike.

Most of the pictures i have are just close-ups of family/friends on the boat, don't show much of the boat itself, these show a little bit. I'll try to get better ones posted soon.

Baby pool on the boat.....now thats something i never thought of......that second picture makes the **** pit look HUGE....thats what's so great about these boats, for 20' you got alot of room...

Yea that pool comes in real handy, gotta give credit to my wife on that one.

It really is such a great layout. I do want to rig up a portable bench to put in the back of it though. I've seen a few on this site, that will be my first project i think.

Welcome, I live just up I-75 about an hour and a half from yeah(although I'm 20 minutes down the road from yeah right now at my inlaws in Pt Charlotte). Spent alot of time in Charlotte Harbor when I was younger, and theres alot to do in a boat down there.

Just purchased this boat from him this past week. It's in pretty decent shape although there is rot in the cuddy from neglect and not taking care of it. Also the motor needs a little maintenence as the carbs need to be redone. Overall it is a good boat and the cuddy is the first thing I am fixing in the off season. Boat has been moved to Gville fl.

Wow that's a fast moving 21!!...get your repairs done and you'll enjoy that boat for a long time...hopefully longer than the last guy!!...LOL!!

And what's this about an offseason in FL??...

True not much of an off season in Florida however the wife is cold blooded (in more way than one). He was moving to Washington so he had to sell it quick, very excited about this boat took it out the Suwannee this past weekend and did about 80 miles. These V's ride like a dream. Glad to be on the site so much info to process it can be a little overwhelming at times.
