Man this boat rides smooth! Even my 11 yr old who isn't the biggest boater could tell. He was very impressed how he could sit in the rear facing seat and feel no wind! Hit the throttle and it wants to jump out of the water! Top speed was around 40 mph with 2 adults and 3 kids, full fuel. Really wish I could use the swim platform with the drive up though. Just too shallow at the sandbar to put the drive down all the way. Do have a few more questions for any other 220 owners. Does the port bow cushion come out? My starboard does but can't seem to budge the port one. Any one replace the radio? I guess the access to the rear is from inside the flip up rear facing port seat. Does that sound right? I have attached a pic of the prop scar on the swim step. I am thinking about the sof Trac mat for it. Any recommendations for that besides Cobalt. Dealer says it is $1300.

Port side bow cushion is fixed as you access the area by flipping up the front passenger seat.
