I ride in boats daily and trust me,you dont want a 150 fourstroke on a 22 foot boat.Get yourself a 225 opti or hpdi and you will be much more happy.

W did you ever find out what that 21' Haynie runs with a 150 4 stroke & 225 Opti ready to fish....just wondering what the price range is.

I have a 19' Cobia bay boat with a 150 Yahama 4 stroke. It runs 50 mph wide open with me and the wife, full of gas, eats and drinks, and about 43 mph loaded with me and Jfranovich(BIG ole country boy), 3 full ice chests, and supplies for an all day fishing trip.
I run about 35 mph at 4500 rpms fully loaded. She gets on top step o.k., but not like my old boat with a 2 cycle Mercury.
But my fuel economy is pretty great compared to my old 2 cycle Mercury.
I can talk to anyone fishing with me when running at any speed. The Yamaha is a super quiet motor.
My boat doesn't have rolled sides, she has the liner. She weighs 1960 lbs. dry, without engine.
I got her because it was one of the few boats that would fit in my car port and it had a 60 gal. gas tank.
I don't know now well a 150 would push a 22 ft'er, unless it is a light boat.

29,000 to 35,000

Plus taxes and registration?
I live in Lake Charles(9% tax) and it killed me when they added the taxes and registration. When I lived in Cameron, we only had a 4% tax.
My Cobia was $27K and it ended up being $30K after titling the trailer, registering the boat and fokking me with the 9% tax.

Thats just some base prices.....I havent got all the details yet but I may just get the Z21 with the 225 Opt,Jack Plate,Power pole,trolling motor and GPS....Im sure it will run high 30s lower 40s....

Thats what Im talking about. I might start fishing with you more:*****:

W was the 225 Opti more $ than the best outboard ever made: "4 stroke 150 Yamaha"?

I dont know that for sure.....We havnt talked about the Opti yet...... Im just going off prices other guys have paid with kind of what I want....he is calling me back after the 1st with all info.... This boat will run mid to high 30's with tax and equi....I getting mine loaded becasue I hope it last 10-15years....

Rule #1 when you buy a boat get everything you need at the time of purchase from the dealer.....For example, I bought a radio & he threw in the jack-plate....that kind of thing!

wonder what kind of buy 2 boats discount they would give

i think the same dealer has kenner also, be interesting to know how the performance of the haynie vs kenner is

Once I get to talk to him ...I will make my mind up on the Merc or yammy......Just need someone to talk me into going Merc...

You wont be disatisfied with the optima Im telling you. Ill even work on it for you but you wont have to worry about that if you take care of it.

that's one of the nice things about getting a used rig! :)

Optimax
 

I run an Optimax and the rest of our lodge runs them. I was gonna buy a Blackjack but will probably go with a Haynie 24 and just sell it every year to buy a new one. Gonna put a 225 Pro XS on the back of it. We have 2 Haynie's right now and we'll probably be running at least 4 next year. Sweet riding boats. Chris is a good guy to deal with. He helps you out any way that he can.
