Default Haynie 21 LS?

What do you think the chances of Chris and his crew making a 21' Low Side similar to their 23' would be? I would be interested in a 21 LS with a 225 or 250. Don't necessarily need a 23', but like how the boat is layed out for both freshwater and saltwater fishability. Similar to a bass boat in ways but also a bay boat in other ways. I think it would be a great boat to have to fish both Big Lake and Toledo.

Thanks,
Brad

Longer boats ride better in rough water and my 23LS with a 250 will do 68mph loaded to the gills in any conditions.
