The NX21 is our first release in this series. The NX 21 console comes with LED courtesy lighting, Yamaha Premium Binnacle Control and Yamaha gauges. The console features a glove-box, a 12 volt power plug, stainless steel cup holders and a forward console seat. That seat holds an insulated 32 quart cooler compartment that can be plumbed as an optional second livewell. Vertical rod racks straddle the console. The combination cooler seat with reversible backrest comes standard as the helm seat, but there’s also an optional leaning post with four rocket launchers and igloo cooler. A bimini or T-top with electronics box, coaming pads, and rear deck pedestal chairs or folding jump seats top the rest of the add-on list.

The NX21 draws only nine inches of water at rest. It likes to ride on top of the waves. A little throttle bump keeps the stern from sliding in a tight turn. Adjusting the stainless steel wheel requires minimal effort thanks to standard hydraulic steering.

 Ice the day’s catch down in the 100 quart insulated fish box on the port aft deck. Add optional aeration and this compartment doubles as a release well. A round 66 quart well on the aft centerline will hold plenty of live bait. Stow safety equipment, foul weather gear and tackle bags in the large forward deck compartment. Want more examples of thoughtful design? The molded anchor locker can handle a real anchor, not a wimpy wannabe. Transitional steps make access to the foredeck fast and smooth, another welcome feature when fighting a hot fish or anchoring over the right spot.
