Location: Green Bay, WI | I talked to Spencer Berman about his, and he really likes the 2100. The problem for me with that boat though is that I really don't like the layout of the cockpit. Those side boxes aren't friendly for me, although I could work around them. That boat is too big for my garage though...which is a problem.
I will say that besides those back compartments, I really like Jerry's 621. His Yamaha F250 isn't the powerhouse that an Optimax or HPDI might be, but that boat gets up on plane fairly quickly and goes faster than the conditions will allow you to go on Green Bay 95% of the time. And the things are bulletproof and some of the offshore guys using them are reporting thousands of hours of longevity on those engines. Sure they are heavier than then the new "Offshore" 4.2L engines from Yamaha, but they have a proven track record of dependability. Based upon my experience in his boat, I'd probably opt for a 250 on a Ranger 621 as well. I would also put a 250 on the Ranger 620 though--as I'd probably go with a Verado 250 Pro, because it's a few pounds lighter than the regular 225/250 V-rods.
I looked at a Warrior 2121 yesterday, along with the Skeeter MX 2025. Both seem to be very nice boats, although the Warrior is going to handle bigger water than the Skeeter as far as I could tell. On Monday I'm going for a ride in a Warrior V203 with Verado power, so we'll see how those boats handle on the water. The floor plan is great for my needs and I could easily see that the rig would be an awesome boat for the bay. So we'll see how that goes.
