Well I have a 21 extreme and am not happy with the performance. I put a a 300x and good prop and still getting outrun by other boats. Too small for rough water. It is also hard on gearcases because motor is in the center and waves are smashing the gearcase it hard.
Have to be careful in low speed turning or it will roll over. These also can stuff just like the 24s if you catch a wave wrong and your head will hit the dash hard.

I must say this suprises me. I had a 21 Skater(pics in my albums) that would absolutely eat big rough water! That boat took more than my body could. Agree on the gearcases but mine never failed. Just give them a visual before every run.
