To any prospective buyer of a Ribside 21 or smoothside 21, be sure to do a full inspection of the bottom (specifically a hammer tap) to determine if there is any separation of the outer skin from the foam core. I have seen several failures of the Outrage 21 where the bottom hull skin was ripped away and heavily damaged under planing conditions, in the mid-ship to aft area of the hull between the center chine and outer chines.
