    21SDC vs 21XD

    After watching the Ken Smith video I noticed he was measuring the width of the front deck right at the seat post. He listed the SDC to be 52" wide. I have taken measurements in the past of my 21XD and thought that seemed a little different than what I measured. I just measured my front deck with the tape touching the seat post and it was right at 56", maybe a little over. That is from inside the cap to inside the cap. Even from the edge of carpet to carpet is 54". Is there a difference in the 2 front decks. Is the 21xd made different than the SDC? could mine have been mounted farther back so its a wider measurement?

    When I ordered my SDC Tom asked me where I wanted my front pedestal seat hole to be placed. Could be some type of custom placement of the pedestal. Just a thought.

    That is what the difference is. My seat pole is farther back than I would put it if I were having a boat built. I don't use the seat but the seat pole dictated where I put my trolling motor pan and I would have preferred it to be just a little closer to the nose.

    This is what I figured. I think mine is the normal to Bullet placement. Just looks a little odd in Ken’s measurements on the front deck width at 52. Of course I do not have a t/m foot pedal tray. Which for me I like not having one. I can move the foot peddle farther back where it is wider and 2 guys still fish side by side going down a bank throwing in front of the boat. I also can say hey you run this thing a while and scoot it over to my partners side.
