Good ride, neighbor has same boat & engine. It's a 2007 I think.
Moves pretty fast with the 300.
Lots of space to fish..... It has a T-top and never has been an issue.
X3 on the soft spot. My cousin has a 2008 22ft had a soft spot in the floor. Sent back to champion ans it was fixed.... Dunno how.

All in all I give it a 9 out of 10!

Dudes in a bind, it actually has 28 hrs on it...and just wants the notes picked up...paying like 300 a month...Anyone know the weight with BOAT, TRAILER, and 300 Yammy.....He barely uses it...not in a bind but wants a COMBINE for the TEXANS HAY....and the note would free him up...For what he owes its a STEAL.

Lol....it's 22ft... But I love it. Nice heavy boat, rides smooth and dry. Plenty fast for me and has plenty of freeboard.

It was an option.....I even built a deer stand out of some of it....and still have plenty of freeboard. That's what you get when you buy a custom boat.

That freeboard will accommodate fishing and hunting....lol
