Well I don’t know if everyone here knew but I had a Mastercraft Xstar I bought in October it was clean and I just dialed it in to make it exceptional clean. I liked the way the boat looked on the water and rode and the room but it just wasn’t me. I love our 28 deck but for where I live it’s not practical. So with that in mind the hunt was on for a deck boat. We ended up with a 22 shockwave deck 2016 with the LSA 550 jet. It’s been the perfect boat so far. Thanks to Old School Boats (Joe) for helping me push the wife after looking at your deckboat and ridding in it. I had to copy your design for the subs too Joe. The boat was weak in the stereo department so we installed two shallow mount kicker subs and a arc amp 1100.2 to power everything. Next step is designing our gator step flooring.

Also I gotta say I have been calling shockwave with questions about this and that and they have been very nice to deal with and Jenifer is on top of all the questions I have had and responded in a timely manner with being super busy.

Good looking boat. The back is so clean with the full width step and no drive hanging out!

Gorgeous boat. Love the red timeless gel design.

How well does it do with the Jet/LSA combo?

Wasn’t your old screen name Eliminator 4 Life? Asking for a friend.

That’s me from the old hot boat days. Who’s asking

Seems that the bot to have this year is the 22/23 deck. Last Sunday i bet we saw 10-15 of them while we sat in the gorge.
