Thanks KG. I like all 3 versions, but really want the 15 or 16 person capacity vs 13 in the 21v. We have a Fam of 5 and often boat with friends/add'l Fam. Often tied up in a cove or at busy cliff areas at Table Rock Lake with kids so I can't have issues with swamping. By your pics I'm assuming it's a non-issue if my ballast are empty.

Never surfed, but plan to once I get the new ride. I would guess 50/50 board/surf.

Budget cap is $50k, would prefer to stay high 30's to low 40's but willing to step up for the right boat. Right now my problem is I can't make up my mind and it's too cold most places to go for test spins.
