Good things come back around. This time, with a few upgrades.

Some boats are just too good to leave in the past. The original Yellowfin 21-foot hull is one of them. Back for Model Year 2027 as the 21 Legacy, this familiar favorite has everything you loved about the original 21 Hybrid, plus a few thoughtful updates that make a day on the water even better.

We kept the good stuff, reworked the details that make a difference, and added a few new tricks up our sleeve. More room to fish, smarter storage, and premium features that come standard are just the beginning.

The 21 is back. And we think you’re going to love what’s new.

Premium Features, Standard

The 21 Legacy starts with a higher standard of equipment. Premium features come standard, along with the fit and finish Yellowfin owners expect. Instead of building up from a bare-bones model, we’ve made the essentials part of every 21 Legacy from the beginning.

You choose the configuration that fits your time on the water:

  • Power: Mercury 300HP Pro XS or Yamaha 250HP SHO
  • Electronics: Garmin or Simrad MFD
  • Trolling motor: Optional

More Room to Fish

By lowering the seating position, we’ve added 20 to 22 inches of fishing depth across the full beam. That means better access to fish holding low along the hull and more room to move when the action heats up. It’s a simple change that came from time on the water, where our team saw an opportunity to make the 21 even better.

A Smarter Console Layout

The redesigned console creates more usable space for the electronics and fishing essentials that matter on the water.

  • Slimmed-down console to accommodate a larger MFD
  • Six rod holders
  • Sealed livewell/cooler

Flexible Seating and Storage

When you’re fishing, the last thing you need is a crowded cockpit. The redesigned aft seats flip up to clear the way, giving you more room to move and work a fish. Fold them away, and you’ll find handy storage underneath for the gear that comes along for the ride. It’s flexibility built around the way you actually use your boat.
