Newer 21 or restore old 20

[Joe R]

Hi Guys...I have owned my 20 Potter 1970 for 30 years now...no major restore, Transom still original , ....in the next year or so I would like to repower ....Always liked the look of the newer 21, 2000 2001 years, it is a little longer and higher freeboard, NOW if I repower my 20 I would do the transom ,and if I invest 12gs in a new E teck , and at least another 4 for transom, some paint rewiring etc ,and that's doing the work myself.. I know how to work with resin and wood, but I am 63 yo and don't want to do the labor, and cant spend big bucks on a pro to restore....I LOVE MY RIDE the older 20 its fun to run ,like a sports car, QUESTION, how does the 21 feel, is it as responsive to the helm as the 20,, what do you guys think , I don't like the older Master Anglers look or lay out, and don't want a 23... So sell mine for like 5 gs in good condition and ,,IF I CAN FIND a 21 with a 2-3 yo OB in the 20-25 grand range...The 21 would be a little better for me now that I am older, I fish the back bays and out to the reefs 15 mi offshore...
