It was Bought from Moesly by a fella named David Berry, Had 2 different I/O in it. David Gave/ Sold it to his nephew Mike. Mike started to restore it 10 years ago and was about to cut the transom to put a 30" OB on it. He also Gelcoated/AWL Gripped the exterior.It sat for 10-11 years after that. It was not for sale. It almost ended up offshore as an artificial reef!!!!!! When Carla first got hers, Ryan made a post stating he saw one not too from him. No one ever responded or persued it, except for me.I contacted Ryan and he went by a few times and left a note eventually the owner called him and he relayed the G2 to me and took pics for me. I did not hesitate, finally we were able to meet and transact business. I had the one in St. Augustine on the back burner as a plan as it was not in as good shape as this one.

Congratulations on your find!!! Wow, she does look awesome and in great shape!

That boat has history too! Bought from the Berry family means that's the "BerryPicker", good friends of my folks!
There was once ONE, then TWO and now THREE ...
Keep us posted on your progress with more pictures!

Not sure if I interpreted this right:

"I had the one in St. Augustine on the back burner as a plan as it was not in as good shape as this one."

Does this mean there is another 21 for sale in St Augustine?

Four Boat Theory just whcked me upside the head -- or was that my wife

Seeing that leaning post/baitwell back there, I have to ask about the future of the dual console stations vs. a center console???

It will be a center console. I will keep the cabin, though.
I have a bad back and need to ride as close to the stern as possible. Also note where Carl is riding in almost all of the pictures. Yes that is a leaning post-baitwell-rocketlauncher. This boat is going to get used as it was designed, rough water.

If you keep the cabin part, then Black Jack will become the first "Savage".

I always thought the 21 would be an excellent CC!

There's great fishing in the Bahamas, and that boat can take you there... and when you're done, sounds like you'll be going in "style"!
