23 vs Moesly 21 Ride

[Islandtrader]

This is a quote from the MAN...Carl Moesly

I was asked to discus a few defferent models of SeaCrafts.

The "21" was a rough, tough boat for off-shore work that can carry a heavy load in high seas with very good speed. The "19" Bow Rider, the "20" Center consol and the Cuddy Cabin were designed for coastal and bay work. The "20" was a modified "19" hull with advance design characteristics.

The "23" models were desigtned after I sold and left the company. They were basically a "21" bottom stretched out and the freeboard lowered. I had a demo ride in rough water a couple of years after the boat hit the market. The sales/demo driver asked me what I thought about the boat. My reply was "there are a couple of things I would have done differently". He came back with "that may be so, but it is so much better than any thing else on the market".

Funny things happen when you stretch out a hull or change things on the bottom. It can be a gain in some ways and a loss in others. A good big boat can mostly out perform a little boat. Foot for foot, I like the "21"

Now if I could get mine done I could tell you what I thought
