    PLEASE VOTE for my daughter

    My 8 year old daughter Cat is represented by Coastal Talent. Her agent entered the YouTube video of her audition to sing The National Anthem at the RiverDogs Games. She's really more of an actress but the kid can sing pretty good for an 8 year old. She was a little phleghmey that day but still...

    Looking for recommendation for a basic chartplotter

    if you can find a garmin GPSMAP 492 it would be all you need. I found one brand new in the box from a local boat dealer for $300. It has built in maps with all the detail I personally will ever need, including depth contours, navaids, etc. It has tide info as well and probably many other things...

    Lee Gunnel Mount Outriggers

    hey Strikezone, I installed the exact same set up on my 222 Fisherman. I'm local to you so if you want to see them set up or need help let me know. I didn't shim at all and they work great. With a good shock cord you can set them up where they are tight when upright and running and perfect when...

    transom repair

    I doubt that will happen. I'm sure there are those that have tried though. Mine is good, I'm glassing it to prevent any problems down the road.

    transom repair

    I'm going to have my guy pull the motor, yank that aluminum trim piece and glass the top of the transom. I have a different model (222) than the OP but it's going to make me feel better to have this done. Someone told me there was aluminum in the transoms. Is this just reinforcement?

    Tournament 225 - Yamaha 2-stroke OX66 Performance

    I have a 222 fisherman w/ 225 OX66 running a 17M prop. It snaps on plane in seconds and runs 45 mph @ 5500 rpm, 33 mph @ 4100 rpm. Speed is off of GPS. When the bottom was painted and had light barnacles on it, speed was only 38-39 mph @ WOT. Slick bottom is much mo bettah. edit: I also have...

    rag top to hard top

    My T Top canvas has seen it's better days. It would probably hold up for a couple of more years but really would need to be removed and have the hem edges restitched. I am probably going to keep the boat so I was thinking about going back with a hard top. It's a factory installed t top. Does...

    there should be plenty of Seafarers around in your price range, probably not so many Tourney 22s but there are some. Keep looking, they're out there for sure.

    222 fisherman issues

    if the scupper flaps were replaced you wouldn't get any water in there.

    222 fisherman issues

    Bob, no I don't. I keep new scupper flaps in there and have virtually no water entering even with people standing in the back, but s I said, the bottom 4 scups are TOTALLY submerged with no one in the boat.

    222 fisherman issues

    I've got a 1999 w/ a 225 OX66 and the 4 cockpit scuppers sit BELOW the waterline. The motorwell scuppers touch the waterline. This when both tanks are full of fuel and no one in the boat. No water in the bilge. No waterlogged transom or hull. They just sit that low. Keep new scupper flaps in...

    A different "ride"

    I finally took my 222 out! It was sloppy in the harbor and very windy. The boat rides great. Not a speed demon but I knew that. I had a Mako 22 6 or 7 years ago and it was a great boat. What amazes me is how different the 2 boats handle. The Mako seemed to have a higher bow and it liked to stay...
