1996 220 finally got her home!

Post by Thane »

After buying this boat in February I finally got to do the sea trial and bring her home, I was impressed by the power and ride quality of the 220 and can’t wait to take her out! Here are some pics..

Congratulations on bringing her home. I like that it has the short Bimini rod option, as opposed to letting it rest on the sunpad.
We will await your captains report!

Lol no that was a typo I ordered all 8 not Led though... engine pics to come she is clean and very well taken care of. I am thinking about making a larger platform out of anti skid king starboard just something so my kids don’t accidentally fall on to them props. Anyone build one of these? It would sure beat the price tag of a swimplatform.com platform. I built a mini extension out of starboard on my Carver 36 to hold our dinghy and pretty impressed at how easy it is to work with, definitely needs a lot of bottom support though. Here are some pics of the mini 6ft x20” extensions for our dinghy davits..

Also another thing I installed some wet sounds 6.5” xs65 and looking at the fusion ra70 head unit any experience with these head units? Not looking for a crazy stereo just nice sound for now and add a amp later on once money stops flying out of my pocket! Thanks for your input!

My buddy did that on his 200. Just add sea dek right away. You will be much happier. I have a sheet ill seek for 50 bucks plus shipping. You can cut it yourself. I'll post it for ya if interested. It's black and gray diamond.
Do a amp right away. That gives you the clean sound.
