Stonehenge Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have had a 1900v and 2000v. Sold those and was wondering... looking at pictures of master anglers the hulls appear the same just top side looks different. Is that true? Meaning same deadrise and hull on the bottom side just a flats boat layout from above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest difference is the beam. The 17 and 18 Master Anglers have a 7' 6" beam and the 21 Master Angler has an 8' beam. The Pathfinder 1900v and 2000v both have an 8' 6" beam, which is on the high side for their length IMHO, and requires more use of trim tabs to smooth out the ride and control porpoising. On the other hand, the Master Angler 17, 18 and 21 are better proportioned in the "LOA to beam" ratio, which accounts for the superior ride they are known for. The Master Angler 21 also has a pad on the keel which adds even more lift, performance and stability to the mix. Just my admittedly biased opinion. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Along with all of the above, the 17 and 18 MA's have a much sharper bow entry. You will find they ride much better than the 1900 and the 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
