Hi Alan .
I have explorer elite with 50hp 2stroke Merc , gets up on plane ok and is a good stable boat ,performs well in a following sea. Has a slightly longer cuddy than a warrior but still has good cockpit space ,two fish comfortably. Would advise a 60 or 75 if a 4stroke. have used orkney 21 & 23 before and explorer is more stable at anchor ,keep mine on trailer and is easy to launch & retrieve, also not as heavy as warrior. Would highly recommend .Also now made by Pisces boats in uk.
Hope this helps Mick.
