This attractive boat, which looks like a bowrider ski boat, but is a fishing rig at heart, is perfect for dynamic boaters who spend their vacation in versatile manner - by sport fishing, water-skiing, scuba diving or swimming at desolate beaches. Hydrodynamically profiled V Trac hull is easy to handle and ensures tranquil and dry ride. The 2101 DC features an extremely sharp bow entry that slices through chop and swells cleanly. But her best features are wide, flat, down-turned chines, which form mini tunnels between the extremities of the hull and the keel. Air trapped in these tunnels creates a cushion that dampens the boat’s ride in heavy conditions.
Regardless of which one of recommended outboard is mounted on a transom, 2101 DC will achieve very good speeds (recommended outboard power is 150 and maximum 250 HP). Powered by 250 HP outboard she enables planing in less than four seconds. Planing speed is 13 knots, while cruising speed is 26 knots (at 4.000 rpm) with fuel consumption of 32 litres per hour. With one fuel tank, boat can cross over distance of around 280 nautical miles. Maximum speed that 2101 DC develops amounts to 40 knots. Besides good performances, 2101 DC has excellently devised cockpit, console changing room, flush mount stainless steel rod holders, lockable rod storage, and, what´s for anglers of the crucial importance, a 30 gallon aerated livewell with cutting board and fish lockers with drain.
The Striper 2101 Dual Console has many new standard features for 2009. Some of the items include stainless steel rub rail, pull up cleats, stainless steel steering wheel with knob, and many more product enhancements from last year.
Seaswirl has been in business for over 50 years on the West Coast. A couple of years ago Genmar brought production east, so if you are not familiar with the name, now you know why. The company has paid its dues over the years when it comes to building offshore boats. Seaswirl’s West Coast heritage has brought to this brand a couple of attributes that they find attractive. Because the Pacific Northwest is famous for its rough conditions, it is not surprising that the Seaswirls have slightly higher bows and freeboard forward than many boats her size built in the east. She is designed to be dry in sloppy conditions and with a 20-degree deadrise hull at the transom you’ll get as good a ride as possible in this 3200-lb. boat. The 2101 is basic, but you can add lots of options.
