Looks very nice but 69K is out of my reach and probably out of the reach of quite a few people. It might be the camera angle but it looks like the two rear storage bins on either side of the baitwell slope down and out. Most anything you would store in there would end up crunched up in a hard to reach area.


I went to the Dallas Boat Show back in February and looking at boat prices these days makes me appreciate my V-20s all the more.

good looking boat, although I'd consider it in the 23 ft class with that bracket, Price isn't too bad, just about anything new with a 150 goes for $50K+. Still way too rich for me though

Cool

Well, it's clean and pretty, I'll give it that. But truthfully I don't like it. First, there's hardly any room in the stern area. Almost half the boat is taken up with the front seat/console/rear seat set up. And it looks narrow. Check out how much room (Or lack thereof) there is between the rear seat and the side gunnels. So you get a fish on and bang your knee or twist your ankle spinning around to get to the rear rods. At least you don't have to go far. Looks like there's less than 5 feet from the seat to the transom. Side gunnels are way too fat and they take up too much room. All in all very pretty and I'd love to have that engine or the electronics pkg, but I'll pass on the hull. Just too cramped for my blood.

Pretty boat...they are built right next door to my office. Here's another article; http://www.soundingsonline.com/boat-...d-north-rip-21
Those lines sure look familiar!

I'm with Destroyer on it looking cramped by the leaning post. Most leaning posts are too wide in my opinion and most manufacturers build their consoles too wide and too tall trying to squeeze two overweight guys behind a plastic windsheild you can't even really see through and operate the boat safely. A lower, narrower console with a short glass windsheild would make that boat look better. If it were me I'd take the T top off as well.

pretty.
no room.
giant bracket, need 10 ft fishing rods. Cost an extra $400 to dock it for a season.
Center consoles always seem to be too far back. I know thats where the best ride is but just no fishing room. You put a bucket and a cooler on deck and you are done. You put rods in the leaning post holders and you can't stand behind it.
Only the driver stays dry.

If only it was a cuddy with a V21 style transom, hardtop...

And the marina would charge you for the length of the bracket too!...
