I am on Sylvan Lake, Alberta which is fairly rough which is one of the reasons a 21V interested me as I was told that it does have a deeper hull and handles chop really well. The last boat i had was a 32 foot Malibu which as a bit to big for our needs so was hoping to downsize a bit without losing the great wake. I do have a large garage so that is not an issue and as far as the seating its not to big of deal, more worried about a good surf and WB wake. All the other boats i have owned have had hard ballast tanks, any issues with the bags ballast? Does it take up alot of storage space while inflated?
