So how many of those hulls speculated to still exist ?
I believe the most recent guess was 4-8

And NO I am not going to shoot a video of the 21 busting thru 4 foot chop off a 10 foot wave...LOL

Carl’s answer is the truth behind the magic…. The 21 IS the “bigger” boat of the two. The 23 is just a little longer…. Not bigger.

There is a picture in a thread from awhile ago that had the 21 and the 23 side by side from the rear. Eye opening. Hope somebody can find and post it.

That was the famous 21 My ASS K Moose quote.

The first time I saw Skip n Carla`s 21, I just about fell over.

I just sat down and looked at her bottom for about 20 minnows.

You could drop my 20 inside and it would disappear.

The 21 was somewhat designed for the govt. contract.
Carl got the contract and the rest is history.
Most went to Vietnam.

Here you go. From the 2013 gathering.

Great pics, but, the one I'm talking about was from before then. They were side by side anchored. The pic was taken from about 15-20 feet away straight at the transoms.

I can't recall ever actually laying eyes on a Moesly, but the Moesly SeaCraft pages accessed from the CSC home page are chock full of great info. For those of us used to looking at our 23's on a trailer, these pics pretty well illustrate the difference in the hull running surfaces.
