I'm fascinated with this particular model....I see it as potential " near perfect " design for fisherman who want this size for trailer ability, cuddy protection, but hard core hull to fish harsher conditions....run longer, faster, better in typical ocean chop. I fish the ocean in a 21' boat up here in New Jersey, and while I pick my days for calm seas, I do some long runs up and down the coast.
So, whatever you can share appreciated......

Here you go. Mind you it is not by any means a treacherous sea state but the folks in my 23 were holding on for dear life while Terry and crew where sipping cocktails. The only way I can describe how the Moesly 21 appears to ride from a different boat is "squishy" meaning it would move up and down but never abruptly or with a bang. Terry did cross my wake before we started recording and it did so with no bang or list.... just rise and fall at a level plane.
My only other observation is that the Moesly 21 is not your average 21 in overall size. I will find the picture I took and can tell you it towers in overall size over my 23' and the 25'. I often wonder if it is 21' at the waterline where boats should really be measured.
