Matching a deep vee Steiger Craft 21 Deep V Block Island 2011 against a modified vee Steiger Craft Block Island 21 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Steiger Craft 21 Deep V Block Island 2011 measures 21,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Steiger Craft Block Island 21 2010 at 2,0 feet (2010). At 47 lbs and 32 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Steiger Craft 21 Deep V Block Island 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Steiger Craft Block Island 21 2010's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Steiger Craft 21 Deep V Block Island 2011 carries 124 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Steiger Craft Block Island 21 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Steiger Craft 21 Deep V Block Island 2011 at 21,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Steiger Craft Block Island 21 2010 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
