It's a good riding hull, but very ass heavy. The cockpit is pretty small, but 4 people isn't too bad. Strictly 2 people for overnights. There is room under the cushion in the cabin for a porta-potty.
The electrical system is top notch. All circuit breakers, wires are color coded, and the helm is hinged to fold back for easy access to wiring and steering.
The fish wells could have been better laid out or left out entirely. They're open to the bilge under neath the rear jump seats. I've found fish in the bilge before, or if you have the fish well plugs open with a heavy load, water can spill over into the rear bilge. If you don't need them, fill them with foam and seal them up.
If the fuel tank needs replacement, expect to pay $4-5000 to replace it unless you can do the repairs yourself, which involves cutting the front cockpit out to replace the tank. I had to replace the tank on my 1992 21WA in 2014 (since replaced by 1993 23WA).
