    An '05 like this beauty will cost you $30k+ in our SoCal area...

    thats a great looking boat! but well above my under $20k budget.

    A Hallett Vector v-drive with a 454 just sold recently in the Sacramento area in your price range. Keep looking.

    21' rasoncraft cruiser hull all rebuilt and ready to drop in a BBC... Vdrive, super clean/nice...

    THis is a great foundation to a very fast boat... It was still available as of a few weeks ago...

    Though I respect a quality v drive, my wife wouldn't go for the open engine/drive shaft with our young kids, and it takes quite a bit of room out of the boat. Need an open bow in this size range. Although I did find a hallett 240 closed bow that she didn't disqualify yet
    But I think this time I'll stay in the 21' range for simplicity in towing, maneuverability, and fuel use.

    On a side note, i don't understand people that are selling stuff! I've called and emailed multiple time also through boat trader on a couple of boats with no response. One is even a dealer/ manufacturer. If you want to sell something and you pay for an add why would you not respond???

    I missed the open bow part. At one time I was looking for a 21 open bow and they are hard to come by. There was a 21 Spectra open bow for sale a while back. I believe it was a jet with no motor.

    Don't think you mentioned what price range you wanted to stay in -- that makes a big difference. As for the 21 Eagle XP, I'd give it high marks overall, just a little less interior room due to the somewhat narrower beam than some of the others in that size range. Should be a 60ish boat with a good 350 mag. You can't go wrong with a Hallett 210 or even the Vector -- both great boats. Same for the 21 Schiada but you're probably going to pay quite a bit more. If you want to stay in the 21-foot range, keep your eye out for an older 21 Caliber 1 (Cliff put together some nice boats at one time) or the 21 Cobra is good too. If you happen to stumble on to an Eliminator 236 Eagle XP -- buy it! Has the same bottom (running surface) as the 250 Eagle XP (just no extended integrated/Euro swim platform) and is an exceptional step-vee hull (the steps are very small compared to later ventilated bottoms, but it works great).
