How does it handle chop compared to the original v series? Do you have any rpm/speed numbers with that motor? Where are you located in North Carolina?

Boat is definately set up nice. Looks good. I've actually been looking at the 23 at Ed's because there is little price difference between the 21 and 23. I just have not been able to talk to anyone that has either to advise how they really ride in the chop. I was on CS website and one owner said they still ride quite hard. Have you had yours long enough to have it in rougher water?

This is my first Skiff, so I can not compare with any of the other series. Boat is located in Hickory, N.C. I had it out on Lake Norman the last Sunday of January and the wind was something fierce. The main channel gets pretty rough when the wind picks up and the 218DLV handled it fine. It was by no means a smooth ride but I felt comfortable and stayed dry. I have been in the same type of conditions in some 20ft bass boats that rode twice as bad and got soaked to boot.

what is the difference between this and the Elite series looks like the same hull

tomytek · 03-07-2007, 02:20 PM

The Elite series has an inner linner, built in gas tank, and more accessories. It weighs about 400lbs more than a standard DLV and cost a lot more.
