I've always heard they were a good, solid, heavy boat. I've only been on one, and it seemed fine to me.

I have the 23 and like said it is a solid hull!!
I am not sure about the 21, but the 23's have to have trim tabs, it really makes the boat perform in seas! Also on the 23's I hear that they have a issue with the floor getting soft in the rear? Mine has one spot a little soft but it is going to be years before I am ever going to have to do anything about it. They are a heavy boat that adds to there stable performance and have a 20* dead rise like the V20. Just make sure when you are looking at them you ck well, they are a wood core boat, there is a lot of wood from the bottom of the hull to the floor, transom, stringers. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r9ey2D2KRU

Very big help! I am going to look monday morning at one that comes with a 200 johnson, another running 200 johnson for my boat, and a 150 parts motor. Guy said the motor on the ox needs a power pack. He's offering it all to me for $2500 bucks... Motors are mid 80's models, one johnson, one evinrude. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Also on an ez loader trailer... What do you guys think about the price? Thanks for the info! Craigan.

If all works out , I would say its a fair price. I paided $2700 for mine, with a bad motor and good trailer.
I have added the hard top, trim tabs, and the 4 stroke. With all that I have added including radar, gps, fish finder, rewire, and so on I am about 90% done and $17,000 in. This includes the buying of the boat.

I have a 200 Johnson on my V and it's a good motor. Runs sweet.. and having a backup motor is never a bad idea. Besides... nothin attracts the wimmin like a big johnson.
