1977 Stamas Open fishing boat

Classic Stamas lines give this 21-footer a proud bow and a deep, confidence-inspiring cockpit, ideal when the chop stacks up. The wide beam adds welcome stability whether you’re drifting a rip or rafted up with friends. Older Stamas hulls are known for their heavy layup, so you get that solid, reassuring ride you don’t find in many lighter, newer rigs. The open layout leaves plenty of room to work a fish around the boat, and there’s ample space to add coolers, tackle storage, or a leaning post to suit your style. It’s a simple, honest platform that invites you to customize and keep upgrading as you go.

A 21-foot open Stamas is right at home in local waters where conditions can change quickly from calm to confused. The deep hull and weight help her punch through wind chop while still floating shallow enough to nose into quiet coves or work nearshore structure. That open deck makes it easy to switch from trolling to bottom fishing to a relaxed sunset cruise without feeling crowded. Fuel burn stays reasonable, yet you’ve got enough size and security for longer runs on fair days. For boaters who want one hull that can handle both serious fishing and laid-back family duty, this model fits the area’s mixed demands very well.
