Glad to be on the site so much info to process it can be a little overwhelming at times.

Sorry to hear about the wife...hope you'll enjoy your stay around here...take some pics of your new 21 and post 'em up here...21s are centerfold material around here!!...

Yeah I was just kidding about the wife, she's a good gal and actually encouraged me to buy the boat so I have to thank her, she just gets cold real easy which is why I got the cuddy. Here is a pic of the boat now like I said there is work to be done but I have time to do it and it's in overall very good shape and structurally sound, floor has a soft spot around the gas tank but the wood isn't rotted I think it's the 2x4 under the floor that gave out as the sub floor is solid with no rot...

Nice boat!!! I got my V-21 this spring and It is the best thing I have ever owned. The kid loves fishing in it more than I do ( Thank God! ) and has out fished me in it all summer. It handled very well out on the north west coast of B.C in a 6' swell and 4' chop. Waiting for the trim tabs to get here about the only thing she needs for fishing out there. It wasn't the biggest boat but it was the fastest and out fished 80% of the guides that live there for a week.
Long live the V

Welcome aboard....how's life in Gainesville these days....my wife and I are both Alumni of UF.. Spent quite a few years there both in and out of school. Hit Cedar Key often? Straight shot out Archer Road....One thing I have to do is get my boat down there and spend some time on the water there. Have it on my list of things to do for sure!

Gainesville is great that small town feel but in a city. I am born and raised from here maybe that's why I haven't left yet. Took her out this past weekend to the Suwannee but Cedar Key is where I really like to fish. I need to learn the deep spots now that I have a boat that can get me there only 1 way to do that and that's get out there and go. Love the community here as there's a ton of help and good info.

Steinhatchee isn't too far about 2 hrs pulling the boat as it's all back roads but I go there a couple of times a year. Looking at going there over Labor Day to do some scalloping with the family. I mostly go out the Suwannee or Cedar Key.
