21' ish Performance/ run about Center Consoles

**sixmassive** · 04-08-2012, 04:30 PM

What are some other Center console boats to look for that are semi fishing, but more of a performance heritage? I really like the Ocean runner 21 that was in the FS section. It had a Superboat bottom I heard. I like the 21 Superboat CC, but i feel the Freeboard is too low, functionally and aesthetically.

I boat in Southeast FL. Some inland fishing, Offshore free diving on calmer days, LOTS of idling, some tow sports, , cruising the inner Keys and Biscayne bay, and of coarse boozing on the sandbar. I Used to have a 26 Sutphen, but I couldnt fish well on it, or tow sports, alot of cleaning w/ the carpet.

I want a Lower maintenance Center Console, No carpet. something around 21 feet should be easy to trailer, clean up, and not have a crowd. And still take a bit of slop.

any ideas?

I would go with a Paramount, but trying to find one won't be easy.

That looks familiar

The bottom of the boat limits its top speed quite a bit. Its probably 10-15mph slower on top than a 21 superboat with a 225 but it really does ride good. We were out yesterday and heading into a solid 2ft wind blown chop plus cabin cruiser wakes and it ate them up. It always surprises me how well it rides. Just sucks its so SLOW compared to the original 21 action that it was a copy of.
