In a quandary

[Seacrets]

Two different boats. I've owned two V-20's and the hull weight is approx. 1920 lbs. The 21' Steiger is 4700 lbs. They're built like a brick. I'd rather be in the Steiger in the snot anyday. It's just personal preference. I'm very partial, but you might want to consider a Parker. I own a 23SE and I'm fishing the Gulf of Mexico 3-5 days a week. They also build a real nice 21 in a pilothouse and a center console. For family fun etc. I'd say go with the V. If you're going to run offshore often, I'd consider the Steiger. Again, personal preference. Good luck.
