    Would be interested to know how you like it. I am considering moving to a 21XP later this year. Thanks...

    So far it is a smooth ride , feels a lot heavier than my 04 21x , a lot slower too. Fishes great though! Trying to figure out prop now , fury 24 doesn’t feel it gives the lift. Fastest 72 mph. Still same chine walk at 68 and up. There is no way I see this boat 80mph. Blows out no matter what when getting on pad . Plug all holes still blows out . If it didn’t have a hydraulic plate it would never get on plane. Have to drop the plate all the way to get on plane.

    Sounds alot like the xrt my dad bought this year. It was the same issue with blowing out, even with all of the plugs in the prop, 23p fury. Walks at about the same speed and top end with that prop is about 70.

    Weird. The 20XP has a great holeshot. Figured 21XP would be similar.
