I think people just need to SEE one in their local area. Geeviam and I are doing what we can to stoke the fires, but it sure would be easier if we could DEMONSTRATE the awesomeness in person. Here's what I propose: MBC sends me one of each model, and I'll take the NC/SC geography and stoke the fires. It will be a sacrifice to spend so much time at the boat ramps and on the water generating excitement, but it is the least I can do. Geeviam, aren't you in GA? Would you mind take these three models off MBC's hands and stoking some excitment in the GA/NFL area? I know, I know, you guys are all in awe at my selflessness and commitment to the brand, but, aw shucks, it's the least I can do. I mean, as you know, I like the MA hull so much that I practically rebuilt mine and about broke myself, so it only seems right that I can help bring the new breed into the world. I will volunteer to handle the South Georgia and Hilton Head SC areas with one or all of the models as well. Tarpon and Tripletail season is coming up now....so let’s start with the 21’. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Boy, you guys are sure awesome for your selflessness. I really appreciate it. Q4R, driving three boats at once was going to be a challenge, so I appreciate you volunteering. I get the upcoming 18' version, though. We can take turns on the 21 and 16. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can selflessly cover Upstate SC and Northern GA lakes for freshwater fishing and bikini model photo shoots at Party Cove - for the brochure of course. Y'all are welcome to bring the convoy here anytime! Gus and JJ, I could meet up with you guys anywhere on the coast from Little River, SC to Hilton Head, SC to test and fish the all new RF/MA 16, 18 and 21 whenever you say GO! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Hard to believe Hewes hasn't jumped all over this ingenious marketing plan. Perhaps they are having meetings about it to discuss how quickly they can send us the new boats!😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 You missed one - there were three in that IG post. They asked which everyone liked most. I can't tell if that first one above is all light blue or all white, but either way, it's a stunner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quest4reds Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 WOW! For what it's worth, I like the first one pictured above, the darker grey one. Apologies for not knowing the actual name of the color, I'm kind of a newbie here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some places up here where that style boat would be totally in its element. I wish we could get Troy or some other 21 MA and 21 RF owner on one to give us a comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the latest video on the Hewes website, the New RF 21 seems to be handling the swells off the beach quite well!

jason p Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 That’s a Miami/Fl Keys boat if I ever saw one. Run to the edge in the morning run back into Biscayne or Florida bay when the wind picks up. Are there two different consoles or is the windshield playing tricks on my eyes? The all grey console looks shorter, the bottom of the back cushion is almost on top of the cooler and higher off the cooler on the white and grey boat.

whichwaysup Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I noticed in the specs that draft is 14 inches, vs. the 22 Pathfinder at 11 inches. Anyone know how that compares with the 21 MA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 21 with a 2.6L 2 stroke and no jackplate floats much skinnier than my brothers 21 with a 225 fourstroke and a plate. I haven't officially measured but i'm pretty sure i can float in a foot.

smilemaker Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 often times the draft is the greatest at the midline a little further forward of the console depending on the design of the hull. the wide beam and displacement can float the stern but don't forget the weight of the fuel under the console were displacement is less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
