I started painting the dash and console today. Here's pics with the black. Red will go on next.

I sure don't envy you in getting in and out of the boat every time. I have spent the last 2 days diagnosing and then pulling the trans out of my 1940 17' ChrisCraft barrel when your 62 years old and 225 pounds its a tight fit and my azz hurts from sitting on the stringers. So I feel your pain in adding the colors and doing it right between coats. But keep it up for the rest of us!!!!!!!!!

Hey Randy, you running twins or trips with all those holes????..........

So what would be everybody's dream power on a new 22?

**WILDMAN** · 02-23-2016, 09:16 AM

No just the standard seven gauges.. The stereo is the gauge style stereo though. The square holes are switch panels.

I would say twin 225 Promaxs would be a great combo

Mr. Higgs has an original twin 22 with 200XS's. Sweet running boat, incredible acceleration, and it just sips fuel. Runs out of speed at 100 MPH, but it was a turn key great boat. Tough to beat that, unless you wanna deal with 280's and now you have a 120+ MPH rocket on your hands.

The 280's and 225 Promaxes were discontinued in 2005. It would be hard to sell a new boat with 11+ year old motors. New 200xs motors cost more than a 300xs and have no warrantee.
