Helms 21
The
Helms 21 is an excellent boat for inshore and offshore use.
Her knife-like entry tames the seas and her variable degree
hull design gives you access to back country water you could not even
dream of in a deep V-hull. Step aboard a Helms 21 and you will
notice that she is very stable.
Push
the throttle forward and hang on as she planes out quickly and cuts
through a chop with the ease and comfort of a much bigger boat.
Push the throttle wide open and marvel at her speed, 50+mph
with most 200hp outboards.
Aside
from the fact that you could run circles around most other boats of
its size, you can do it while burning very little fuel.
Cruising at 4000 rpm, which is roughly 40mph with a 200hp DFI
2-stroke
engine, fuel burn is between 6 and 7 gph on average. So with a
96-gallon fuel tank you could go over 550 miles on one tank of fuel.
That’s
equivalent
to going from Miami to Bimini and back 3 ½ times!
The
Helms 21 construction is second to none.
The hull is 100% composite and it is hand built.
This allows for a very lightweight hull
that is incredibly strong.
This also translates into better fuel economy and an easier to
handle boat. Another advantage is that the tow weight is low allowing
most small and mid sized trucks and SUVs to tow it.
The hull is almost completely filled with foam for your safety.
Every compartment has either a gutter or a watertight hatch.
The deck is self-bailing and the cooler and fish boxes drain
overboard as well.
The
electrical system is heavy duty using tinned copper wire with
waterproof connectors, switches and circuit breakers and main line
fuses.
We have done our best to make sure your Helms 21 is as
low maintenance as possible so you can enjoy your time on the water.
Last
but not least are the fishing features that are built into every Helms
21. Pop up cleats and bow light are standard so you don’t snag
lines or stub toes. The live-well is plumbed, lighted and actually
holds it’s rated capacity.
Four
gunnel rod holders are standard and more are optional.
Additional rod storage is under each gunnel. The two large insulated fish boxes under the forward casting
deck drain overboard for easy clean up and have no pumps to break or
clog. Options available include tackle locker, console rod holders,
raw water wash down and just about anything else you can think of.
The Helms 21 also keeps everyone comfortable
with seating for 6 people, built in cooler and plenty of dry storage.
Things such as bow cushions to lie out on and Bimini or T-tops
for shade are also available as an option.
