Why are we still chatting on this original posting ?

Don't you all know that I bought this V21, and have been tenderly, and caringly enhansing it's original decent condition ?

You need to go to another post to make idle conversation about dogs, cars, women, food, drinks, and fuel injection systems...............

Why when I was a boy, we didn't have internet. If you wanted to talk with someone, you had to pick up a phone, which was usually black, and had a rotory dial. Yup, that's how old I am. 50.....going on 51.

The V is a nice looking boat......a " classic boat style" that suggests the idea of " boating" rather than either only fishing extreme hard core, or going very fast, all the time.

Now that I'm " intimate" with the V21, I see where Wellcraft was maintaining strong quality, and where they were apparently taking cost out....wherever it " wouldn't hurt"...
In my opinion, putting a little more money in and marketing that quality might have been a better way to keep the brand, and get a fair retail price for it.

Try to find a similar new, or used boat that offered this combination of space, comfort, seaworthyness to use bay or ocean and nice looks - not many options at all.

If we all provided a list of adjustments to the V21, and implemented into a re build, we'd have one heck of an exceptional boat, not just a good boat, a great boat.

That brings up an interesting point....why the hell did they stop making them? Was the invention of the eurotransom a killer? I don't think you can find a boat that is as versatile as what we have.

I ask myself that question too: Why did Wellcraft stop making a boat like this?

Some of the comparable boats on the market are the Carolina Classic boats and the Hunt 25' footers that look like v20/21s on steroids. But they are expensive. There has to be a market for this type of boat at a mid-range cost. Instead, Wellcraft makes a boat that looks like a bunch of what other companies offer. They had (have?) a market of people that liked boats like ours: classic styling, carolina flair, family/fishing friendly. They should offer a new V21 model, or better yet, a friggin V25.

The Ray Hunt Boat Company.....they offer a 25' that looks beautiful.

Might be a little more than a Wellcraft, but damn that looks nice.
