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.

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.

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.

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!

Default 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.
