			I own 96' V21 and can advise......scupper system with floor raised as Wellcraft did great for keeping dry. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Since floor raised, a bit less freeboard. Other than that.........if both in similar condition, I don't believe enough reasons to switch, unless you just want the newer boat.  |

			One of the big ticket items (for me) on the 94 is the fish boxes that drain over. It's a pia not having fish boxes and trying to do everything with coolers. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The (full) transom of the 94 is nice for off shore also... As far as the bow rail; the dual console rails turn down at the split. This boat they terminate at a junction fitting. It's well done/neat...but I think someone probably modded this...? Bgreene...haven't you had a V 20 and v 21 (I may be mistaken)... Thx, Bill

			I have a 96' V21 ....still own.    
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Bow rails in the picture are not the factory original. Doesn't matter if done properly. The key to all these older boats built with lots of wood is water intrusion and associated rot. If you know where to look........and what to look for you'll be ok with either boat. If you don't know - I'll forward a list.  |

			I have a V20 and a V21.  They are both nice boats.  Both have 200HP outboards on them.  I like the identical ride in both of them.  But I think the V21, with it's bubble transom, built in fish boxes and wash down system is a nicer boat.

			I wasn't overly impressed with the 21 I had for a year or so...the '87 I have now is exactly what I want in a V20...

			never rode in one, so not qualified to compare.  i think the deck is about 9 inches longer, cabin about the same.  i do like the closed transom, but the "bracket" kinda looks cobbled on to me.  i'd rather have a seadrive model with a bracket and a fresh motor. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	destroyer would be a better source, he has one of each. like said, all of these hulls have wood in them and that is the weak spot.  |
