I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new Caymus. I am trying to decide between the 20 or 21. I live the layout of the boats. I have only ridden in the CX21. I am coming out of a Legend A211. I was told by the dealer the build would take 15 weeks. I was going to go with the new Yamaha SHO but after talking to a few mechanics and the availability I am going with the Mercury. I appreciate any info on models and setups from anyone.
I have a 2021 CX 20 and absolutely love it, has the 250 Merc Pro XS and pretty well loaded except for poles! I have seen right at 78 mph ( 3/4 tank fuel by myself and tackle in the cooler water)with my 24 Fury which does a great job! I am running lithium ionic batteries and charger, two 12 Lowrance at console, one on the bow double stacked with a Garmin 106 with live scope. With two guys and 50% fuel I seen right at 77 on a cool morning with perfect running water. I have ran Z 520 for past 12 years, this C will run off and hide from all but one of those Rangers!!
Any questions feel free to pm or post on here!!
Thank you very much. I fish Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend mostly. Dealer said the C21 would ride better. Both boats seem like I have twice the fisability as my current boat. I had planned on the lithium batteries. I plan to run 2 8" power poles. If I go with the 21, I am thinking of bumping the motor up to a 300. Dealer said that it would sell better with a 250 when the time came for a new boat.
Dealer is right on selling part with a 250 but if i was going 21 i would definitely get a 300R!!Quote:
