Hopefully you can tell by my icon that I own one of the running 21's built by Carl Moesly. Knowing what I know now...if I could not be in my 21 for off shore running, I would be in a 23 Seacraft of any configuration. Matter of fact I was looking for a 23 before the 21 found me.
According to what I know...less than 200 were built, and there are only 6-8 accounted for. My number is 136 and I think that is the newest in the bunch. ( I can't remember what Gillies number is).
If you want more info...just click on my link and you will see the whole rebuild process.
I saw your thread. Pretty amazing work. As for the Sea Ray, it was one of the newer 2000's era 24 bowlders, so I stand firm by my embarrassment. It handled like a pig. LOL I have been wondering about those old 70's Sea Rays. They don't look much like the one that my dad had.
