New Boat
 I have pretty much decided on a Blue Wave Pure Bay 2200. I am going to get it with a 150 Yamaha 4 stroke. Any opinions on this boat/motor? I know the get the largest motor argument but is the additional expense worth it? Why? I am also planning on putting a 24v Motor Guide trolling motor on it. I considered the 36 volt but the dealer talked me out of it. He says the 24volt will be plenty and I agree. I fish for fun. If it is to windy for the 24 volt TM I don't want to be out there. I work offshore and mostly fish during the week to keep away from the crowds. I like to start early and don't fish past 1 or 2 in the afternoon usually so the 2 batteries should have plenty of juice. The reason I chose this boat is because I like the liner boats. Plenty of storage I like the rear jump seats and in floor storage. According to the Yamaha bulletin this boat with this motor should run 53. Plenty fast enough for me. And it should be easy on fuel. I have not committed yet and will likely wait until after Jan when I was told there will be better deals due to boat shows etc. So I have plenty of time to change my mind 10 times. Ain't boat shopping fun.

i have a blue wave and love it wish i would have went with bigger though. i have the vbay 18.
now on the trolling motor i have a 24v and it is plenty for my boat but i have to say fishing the jettys some times with tide flowing hard or in small cuts i could use a little more power. so its not just the wind..... 24v will do everything you need but its easier to get what you want while you are financing than trying to come up with 1200 later.

First off,that is a really nice boat. But,I would go with the max hp for several reasons. Yamaha does performance tests, along with every other manufacture without real world loads. For example,most test are done with no trolling motor,one battery,half a tank of fuel,ect. Under a fishing load a 150 on that boat will burn just as much,or more fuel compared to the max hp rating. Another reason to go with the bigger motor is when you put 3 or 4 people in the boat,the holeshot will not be too good. Where are you planing on buying this boat?

I have a 19 ft. Cobia with a 150 Yamaha. Top speed is 50 mph, full fuel, full of fishing supplies, 1 big azzed Texan and 1 med. sized coonazz.
I cannot top 50 mph with less load. That is my top speed.

If you ever want to resale the boat it willl be alot easier with a 200 or more then a 150.

i like those bluewaves but iwould put nothing smaller than a 200 on a 22ft bay boat . I ran a guys boat for him last weekend it was a nautic star 22ft w a 150 4stroke it had a horrible hole shot and i had to run it wide open the entire time to get anywhere in a decent amount of time .. IMO i would get a 225 spend the xtra $ like you said you deserve it that way you dont have to run wide open to cruise at REASONABLE SPEED. ALSOGET THE HYDROLIC JACK PLATE AND TRIM TABS IF THE BUDGET ALLOWS FOR THEM. PM PUREBAY2200 ON HERE HE JUST SOLD HIS HE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

If the boat is rated for a 200 and you have a 150 it is not a problem. However, if the boat is rated for a 250 then go with atleast a 200..... Blue Waves are very nice boats....
Note, go with a Yamaha.......do not let the dealer try to talk you into getting a CHEAP P.O.S. MERC OBAMAMAX......

That boat is badazz with a 225!!!! Fast fast!! All I can say is wow!!! But deffinatly get the optimax!!! So much lighter!!!
The cruising speed will be pretty good at a much lower rpm, plus when that swtorm is rollin up on you, you'll want that power!!! Has anyone else ever heard of aboard owner wishing they had less power?????

The OBAMAMAX 225 is 497 in weight compared to the Yamaha SHO 225 which is 505 in weight........Also, the OBAMA MAX is a 2 stroke compared to the SHO which is a 4 stroke.....However, I bet OBAMA MAX will now have a fire sale due to the SHO......You will now be able to get the OBAMA MAX even cheaper then they were before.....
