Which rides better - very few know !
 

Which rides better in typical ocean chop:
1. 23’ Sceptre outboard
2. Orig Mos 21’ cuddy

I wrote few would know because seems very few have experience in original 21.

BG - what have you learned in the 15 years you've been asking this same question?

I don’t recall if I’ve asked this specific question but if it’s a repeat, I don’t believe it’s a felony offense . Relax

Apparently nothing other than he can bait people into responding to variations on an incessant and pointless theme. Kinda like "Which is better at xxxx, Ford or Chevy?" :D

Baited into a theme - good fishing reference .
Maybe pointless boat comparison to you but that’s ok, you’ll survive

Hehe, I can tell you in the last 15 years through my 40's & 50's all was good ! Now 60's the check engine light comes on telling all of us, better hurry up. Starting to run out of calendar heading for that unknown expiration date ! :(

Someday you will be just a Snapshot in the family album 🙏

The one thing that is fair ......is we all age and die.
What's not fair is what can take us early, but that's life.

Now how does a 23 ride compare the 21, to the 25, to the 27 :)

My vote is for a Bayliner or flat bottom Boston Whaler

With all due respect bgreene, it sounds like you probably already have an opinion about the ride quality of the different models, huh? Why not fold in modern stepped hulls too? How about cats? Bottom line (for me) is that people have different boats, with different opinions about their pros and cons... I'm good with that, and don't feel the need to argue or try to convince others on the internet. Have a nice day!
