I don't know about the hinged step on the 24 but the 21 was designed as a trailerable, the 24 was not.
I owned a Kirby 1/4 Ton for years - it was a 26' development of the 24. I would not have considered dropping the 33' rig without a crane.
The bottom line here is that the 24, while being transportable without heavy equipment like a semi to haul it, is NOT a trailerable. It needs to be regarded as a "big boat" in that regard.
