Just finished reading your thread, very nice! Who did the cover? Waterproof or just a dust cover? Do you mind sharing what it cost to have made?Had a new cover made and decided to have it cover most of the boat. Very happy with the results.
Thank you! More to come. A local guy Joe who retired from his own cover business and now does it out of his garage stitched it up. It's Sunbrella material which is very durable and more water resistant than water proof. It ran me $1,800 only because I had the material run down and cover nearly most of the boat. A standard cover from him is $900.Just finished reading your thread, very nice! Who did the cover? Waterproof or just a dust cover? Do you mind sharing what it cost to have made?
So funny you mentioned this. I was literally lying in bed convincing myself that now is the time to make the change. You're thinking the 30" tabs over the 24"?Snowball is right! I would highly consider some Dana 1100s and moving them to the outer edge of the transom parallel to the water. You are going to really increase hp and I think you will find the 22 has its limits.
I like the 1100’s because you can get kicked tails. The idea is to make flat contact with the water helping the chine walk settle down without scrubbing speed or pushing the bow down. Conventional non step v bottoms need to be trimmed out to carry the nose…. 22 offshore just doesn’t do well with thatSo funny you mentioned this.

I noticed the 24 Schiada's all run a 28" tab parallel with the water. I did a lot of homework on tabs the last few days. I was unsure about using a kicked tail or not. Marine Industrial is minutes from my office. I'll pick his brain.I like the 1100’s because you can get kicked tails.
