Reel.........you probably would get close to 2x the fuel economy...

Also, if your Yami free of corrosion, should sell quickly too.

Those are my thoughts as well.

V21 owners - cuddy bow slider .................

Four screws hold the slider onto the track.....with the lighter additional pull out sliding under the main section.

Installing new screws ( if needed ) can be interesting.......
Unless you want to remove the entire assembly to fit the screws, getting a very short flat head into place, with equally small nut is a bit of a challenge.

Anyone know what I'm referring to ?
After doing this, I've found the minor slider hits on the screw heads, and sometimes gets hung up. So, I plan to remove the screws, remove the washer I used as a spacer ( that's causing the problem), re install and cut off the end of the screw if it's still sticking out too much.......or find a shorter stainless flat head screw and fumble in the small slot to fit on a nut.

Always something you can be working on with a boat.............

V-21 owners - other tips...............

1. Port side transom access- where your oil tank is located.
Under this section is a sealed off void.......
Don't drill a drain hole into the " floor" of this section that the oil tank sits on.......or water will accumulate permanently.....
I have a drain hole, but I keep it plugged, and only check annually to be sure no water is down there. ( narrow vacuum hose to wet vac)

2. Deck plate over fuel tank sensor....
I remove it off season to air, but keep it sealed down with clear silicon during fishing season.
These plastic deck plates can and will leak without sealing.
I believe lucky........seems bone dry in there.......the wood I can see it light colored and looks new.
