R21 Options...What prices are you guys seeing?

check credit unions for finance rates. couple around here are running 1.9 and 2.49 on rv's. they won't go 15 yrs tho.

That would be awesome but no joy on any of our CU's being even close to that...

On a different note, anybody notice a major space difference between the R20 vs R21? Performance characteristics, etc?

When we purchased our Z1 (2013) we looked at the R20/RZR. My wife walked into both boats, jumped out of the R20 and stated that if we get a boat it would not be it. Her comment was based upon space alone, nothing relating to fit/finish or performance. The walkway on the R20/RZR is noticeably narrower and so is the cabin space. We are not big people (I'm 5'11 @ 200 and she is 5'3 @ 120). The R21 is 8" wider (94" Vs 102") and 1.5' longer. The R21 is classified at a 21' boat but is actually 21.5'.

You would need to evaluate your crew size and really get in both of them to see how it would fit for you.

I don't know about you Dandy - but I would have considered that comment the ultimate window of opportunity...

Ohhhh, we bought the Z1. It's always a "non yes" that gets me our boats. Managed to pick up my Whaler last year under the condition that I sold my 12' sail boat first. Whaler 1st sailboat sold later. She was in full agreement to trade the Z1 on a G23, sold the G23 and purchased a new home and I was told we have to wait until 2017 to get another tow boat. I managed to find a good deal on a 2007 22Ve so that we won't have payments and she gave me the "just make a decision and do something...I will go along with it"...so I signed the paperwork and the 22Ve shoudl be here next week, so we will be back surfing and I still get to keep the Whaler. No complaints from me about my "better half".

having met them, dandy's wife is really the better half
