21 Olympia - like Action Marine and Paramount

[JB Olympia21]

Jb. What mid section you running. 20? 25? Stock lower? I’m leaning towards a full stainless marine swim platform for my 20in mid 250xs. Haveing the platform for sandbars would be great and the offset would be great for top end in thinking.. does your boat have a forward bow water tank? I cut mine out tonite Attachment 425476gAttachment 425477

Running a 25 mid. Everything is stock. My hull is a 1996 and I dont have a water tank... the floors were re done a few years back so maybe there used to be one and the previous owner removed it.

Yup. And a lot of wet foam

My Action had two fuel saddle tanks and a Center fuel tank. Getting ready to do my floor and transom with Coosa.

Any feedback on installing a stainless platform on the back? Would love to see how you run with that. I kept hearing that these boats need 8-10 inches of setback. It would make the boat more dive, sand bar friendly for sure. Are you doing glass work etc...for the floor yourself?

I believe 21 Olympia is already finished with his boat. I’m currently ripping out old water tank and fuel tank.. stringers aren’t bad but plan on replacing them with coosa and deck.. looking into a custom bracket .. maybe 14-16 offset. They carry in stock 18 offset brackets but haven’t seen any yet. Anyone out there have a 21 action .. paramount or Olympia with a full bracket ???

Sorry. I meant your 21 Olympia. I had one on my Paramount. The boat ran well powered only by a vmax200. Would hit 60 with light fuel and load. Excellent for a Paramount. I’m just not sure if we need that much set back on our hulls.

Kismet, Evan down here in the Keys has a paramount with a full bracket and a 400r hanging off the back. its the baddest Paramount/Action built in my opinion. 90+ MPH. a ton of work done to the boat. I don't know of a 21 Action or Olympia with a full bracket but they look great on these boats. A friend of mine has 10" setback on his 21 Action with a 300 on it and he flies, 80+ MPH

When did they retire? My boat is stamped 1998 year.. title says the same. I thought they didn’t make any that late?

[maineidyl]

Any update on your build? Did you install a bracket?

The plan is still to install the 18” bracket. Currently stripping bottom of bottom paint.. will post rigging pics when the time comes!!
