Seaswirl Striper 2101 DC

Seaswirl's versatile new Striper 2101 DC is big and tough enough to take on Mr T. I pity the fool who hasn't considered this boat, writes David Lockwood

FULL OF SURPRISESDECKED OUTDRIVING THE DC

HIGHS

Huge volume, seaworthy and safe
Smooth riding offshore providing you keep the boat in the water
Great mouldings and oodles of storage
A very adaptable design for fishing and family boating
Timeless styling, finish and fittings suitable for saltwater use

LOWS

The covers for the sidepockets hinge open only so far before they hit the optional aft seats
The 2.59m beam requires that you have a permit for daylight-only towing
It would be good if the optional hardtop and alloy frame with rocket launcher was strong enough to tow wakeboarders
Trims tabs would help keep the boat on an even keel. Big forward sections shed a lot of water and throw the spray around
No ventilation in head
