ride is relative...
example: the only boat you've been in is a 17 whaler - someone takes you for a ride in a 20 grady white - you're gonna believe that grady rides the best until you get on a 23 sea craft,then,you get a ride on a 31 contender...it continues.... boat owners NEVER tell the truth concerning 2 things: ride and speed - both are exaggerated drastically.example,my boat will run 25kts through 5' seas,that's a commonly made claim - reality is,the "seas" are a gentle swell of less than 3' and the speed is 20mph... from my experience,the contenders are a well made,solid,soft riding hull - I am not a fan of the in deck livewells... again,my opinion may not match another's -doesn't mean one's right and one's wrong...it's more of a "taste" - like color on a hull...

21 contender ride is equal to 23 in a head sea. At rest 21 contender way more tippy than the 23 seacraft. The floor live well on the 21 contender has been an issue . . . I know 2 hardcore guys that have sold their 21 contenders for 23ft seacrafts. I know another that had a 23seacraft and bought a 23contender and keeps saying he's gonna sell it and get another 23seacraft.
The newer 21 seacraft from mid90's through 2008? was a shortened 23. Lots of people confuse the 20seacraft for the 21ft seacraft. There is a big difference b/w the ride of these 2 boats. 20 has it's place and is a great riding boat . . . but 21 is much bigger rough water hull like the contender 21.
