For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Hewes Redfisher 21 2021 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Hewes Redfisher 16 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Hewes Redfisher 21 2021 could be the deciding factor.
