Install the internal combustion engine propulsion system and attach vital system controls, primary cooling apparatus, rotating power transfer systems, combustion evacuation systems, and electrical distribution network. And turn the key.

That is sexy as hell!! Love it!!

Hopefully it's getting a big orange pump hanging out the back!!

Thanks it’s getting a clean dominator 12-s with a big orange swimstep covering everything.

Yah drop motor. We drop it from a forklift ar just the right angle for the setback install. How else do we get the oil pan to fit?

@Goodtime$ Todd just curious if you have anything with a deeper hull between the 21 skier and say the 242 for o/b power? Just internet surfing but I prefer v bottom boats but seems like everyone wants deck boats.

I was curious too, what bottom are they using for their 23 Open CC?

23 OPEN CC is " Contender 23T" similar feel and look


badluck: deep V bottom market is super soft. There are molds all over. We had the 247XS mold and sold 1, traded the mold for the 26 force cat.

The essex 27 raven is my favorite, shockwave builds a few 25s, and nothing beats a classic 270 Hallett non step.

Any new 21’s?!

We havent sold one in a while, kinda bums me out.
Right now the 23 deck is the most popular boat.
242 SKIER - Jet and Outboard in final rigging phase - waiting on Gator and or motors

266 Cat and 277 DECKS are coming down the rig line.

But the 21 SKIER will always be my favorite. Ultra had 2 molds back in the day, thats how popular this model used to be.
We made it better. Full beam swim step x Gator Step Floors x belly tank x Affordable turn key family custom open bow

Soon I hope. Right now all the outboard demand is for the 23 deck and 26 Cat

21 skier with a Suzuki 300hp 4stroke would be a rad family ride
I'd be stoked to see the lay-up of gel coat process. The way you guy's get the color scheme
has me scratching my head.o_O

That's going to one of my best friends daughter and husband, and her dad's no longer with us. She's logged more hours in a Tahiti than anyone I can think of, born and raised in one, it will be special for her. Her dad would be proud.😢

Will get some
Waiting on gator step, boat is pre rigged and stored inside

vendor delays are real, gator had a computer deal and now buried so I’m trying to stay positive.
We lay the gator step down first , then seat over it

What is current ballbark price for the 21 and leadtime? We may be in the market soon, used market is crazy, dont need a boat this summer, so thinking of trying to convince the financial advisor of buying something new.

Not trying to be a smartass, but which one is the upgrade? the bottom looks better and is what I have, but the top one is probably more functional and comfortable.

The upgrade is the full size swim step. I went from the same situation, two small billet steps to a full swim step. No comparison, the large swim platform is great for wakeboarding, skiing, and hanging out on with all that extra room.. I think it looks better too, more modern.
