Hello members, I recently purchased a 1985 Bahner 21', BBC/Berkley etc.  My understanding is that the Bahner is a quality boat, rides good etc, but I'd like to find out all the information possible about this boat brand, how it relates quality wise, weight, performance etc. with the other boat brands in this class.  I've read the stories about Bahner himself, what happened etc, but I'm more interested in the design/quality/originality of his boat building.  The boat is in very good condition, I'm the third owner, has been very well cared for and all original.  I plan on restoring this boat, about all it really needs (so far) is some minor repainting of the faded trim areas.  Thanks

The 21' Bahner model is actually the same model being used today for the 21' Ultra boats. They are pretty good quality from my research and understanding. They are not speed boats so don't expect them to be or hold up with you try to make them one. But over all a pretty good boat. More likely than not my next boat will be an open bow early to mid 80's 21' Bahner. The drama and what not behind the senses is one thing to make you question, and your going to find two sides to this model. People either love Bahner's or hate them. There is no middle ground. There are several different places to read about them, just spend some good time on  google.
