Been on the fence of selling it. No rips, tears, gouges, etc.
I'd save you 8k. Plus we all know, the 220 is where its at...

Re: Opinions please?
Anything over 50 is good with me. We are coming from a 18' crestliner ski and fish so this 222 will ride like a dream compared to it. I also like the higher freeboard and seat layout over the 220. We do most of are boating on Lake Geneva so the higher freeboard will help with the Geneva chop. Pretty much a done deal upon inspection and should have it in about a week.

Re: Opinions please?
Well it happened and the deal was made. Cleaner then expected but still needs a minor cleaning. More pics to come. Thanks for all the help and I will have more questions.

For a not Red boat, she's pretty! Clean her up and have fun! Let us know if you have any questions! We love ours!
When you decide that you hate the snap in carpet and how they put the snaps in, get some seadek flooring! We love ours! New steering wheel is another must have to really get an updated look!

Re: Opinions please?
Love the steering wheel. Wife hates the carpet already so that will be going. How did you deal with the snaps? Did you just remove them and leave the hole or fill them in?

Re: Opinions please?
All but 2 snaps were covered with the seadek. The 2 by the ski locker had to be filled and the installer did that for us.
