Bullet 21SS Facts - Q and A
I did this on another bass boat site, hope it's helpful here too. If you have any more questions, fire away and I'll do my best to answer them...
Brand new hull design, pad design and top cap design.
Brand new accent/stripe design
Brand new seat design
Brand new cooler design, storage design
By "rounding" the boat - the interior feels wider than all current models. It isn't rounded so much you can't stand on it. The way the roundness all comes together on the nose and sponsons is GORGEOUS.
Starting at the bow
Trolling motor has a "recessed" area to mount it TN Style. Mounting a trolling motor "across" the bow will not work on the new 21SS.
Storage compartment located directly under the front pedestal seat. There will be three different options here, a simple tray, or two different plano storage systems.
Rod Box is much wider on the passenger side.
Box in front of the passenger console is big enough to lay two of me in. This area is HUGE. The area runs all the way to the side of the boat.
The carpet on the front of the boat runs all the way past the console between the console and the side of the boat. This allows the person fishing the front of the boat to lay down at least 5-6 rods without having to move them to get into any of the front compartments.
The "step up" compartment is now split in two - it's narrower, probably along the width of the center compartment on a 21RDC/XDC. The actual "step" is now an optional second cooler, complete with drain.
Bill hand selected the latches used in this boat and they are AWESOME.
The front storage compartment has all new drainage channels. IT SHOULD ELIMINATE THE LEAKY FRONT COMPARTMENTS!!! I will say this - the drainage system in this boat, along with the latches, are the most innovative I've ever seen in the bass boat industry.
Console/Passenger Area
NO MORE VINYL TEXTURE. Smooth finish interior. However, the interior must be the same color as the top cap now - there is no way to mask off the interior and top cap.
Console is moved towards the center by around six inches.
There is a recessed area in the floor below the console that allows for even the biggest guys to stand up straight behind the console -no more "sliding" out.
Console is the same size surface area wise as the current Bullets. No mounting graphs in the console. There are at least three areas, however, you can mount one. Including under the dash, on the carpet between the console and the side of the boat, or on the side in front of the shifter.
The front of the console has the same "sharp angle" as the 20CC, which has the sharpest angle of all. It has a little different lines then the current models - not really noticeable - but noticeable enough that you can tell it's different.
Passenger seat is moved towards the center
Cooler lid is now standard. No center seat option - however a padded "back" will be an option.
Switch panel totally redone - fuses are now located on the panel for easy access. The switch panel is now around 6 inches wide!
TOTALLY NEW SEATS - WITH SPRINGS - AND HONESTLY - Weigh no more than the current seats. They are comfortable!
Cooler has two LIGHTS in it. Way to go Josh Owens!
REAR DECK
The access to the batteries/gas tank are now split into three lids - so if you have battery issues on the water - it's easy to access!
Livewells and storage virtually the same.
Splashwell is completely redesigned and includes a recessed "flat" area to run motor hoses and steering hoses. No more need to run the big hose off the side of the boat.
Botton of sponsons have been completely redesigned to help eliminated backwash.
Top Cap accent is now "split" - and it looks GREAT in my opinion.
The "belt line stripe" along the bottom runs all the way across the back of the boat from side to side.
No more "large" Bullet letters on the side. You can add them yourself, I suppose.
The trailer has been completely redesigned by Boatmate with a lot narrower look - more along the lines of a Custom Line. On the finished product - the steps will be larger than on the show boat. They will run all the way to the "angle" of the trailer in the front.
If you have any more questions - post them here and I will try to answer.
PS - GET YOUR SPORTMASTERS READY FRIENDS!!!!!

Re: Bullet 21SS Facts - Q and A (BOOD)
I like the boat from what I can see, also thanks for your post, answers alot! can we get some pics that show what you mentioned in post. really a shock for most but for me its still a BULLET. I hope that the TN mount would be an option but I was going to center mount next one anyway so its no big deal as it looks closer to center than the TN mount now on side gunnel. need pics to show the difference's.

Re: Bullet 21SS Facts - Q and A (2500)
Thats what I would like to hear is some specs. Anyone know?
Re: Bullet 21SS Facts - Q and A (BOOD)
Any changes to the livewell spray bars, pumps, divider, etc? I see the livewell lid latches are different and should eliminate the lids flying open when you are running. Just curious if there are any changes planned in the other items.
