Default Given a Boat for Christmas

Hi, I'm new to this site. I was given a 1993 21 ft Dixie boat for christmas by my wife's family. It was a family boat, and seems to be in good condition. Can anyone tell me anything about these boats? Is it a good builder? I'm very excited about it, and I'd appreciate any and all information I can get. Thanks!

Is it a walkaround or bow rider? They were entry level boats with a good ride. I fished my frieds walkaround and it was a great ride and very economical with a straight six cylinder Chevy Merc inboard/outboard.

It is a walkaround. It has seating at the very front too. It also has a cabin.

Here are a couple pictures of the boat. They are of my wife as a kid, but the boat looks exactly the same, it was so well cared for. It has a 150hp mercury.

Congratulations on your new ride. Now to enjoy it with your wife as an adult, the memories continue to build.

Here is a 1991 for sale. Maybe the seller will be nice enough to tell you something about them. They are close in years.

No problem.

If it floats, runs and can get you and your family back to the dock safely at the end of a day on the water, that's all you need to have fun.

NICE looking boat - especially if it's still in that kind of shape!

Enjoy!

Regards,

I had one from 1987 until 1990. Many great days on that boat. Only issue was a small fuel tank. I think it was 50 gallons. Hope you enjoy it. Looks like it was well cared for.

A friend of mine had one and even fished offshore NC with it fron time to time. I believe they were built in NC or SC. There are still a lot of them in that neck of the woods. Nice layout for family fishing/cruising. Check as they may not be self-bailing.
