NICE BOAT-WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED--I COULDN'T make out the letter---almost bought a 22 a couple years back
with a ficht--broker said we could get an aftermarket warranty--guess what---they woulld not write a policy on
the Ficht----NO SALE
PDLBOATER,
The boat is in storage for the winter near Lewes, DE. During the season, I fish out of Ocean City, MD. I don't blame you for passing up a boat powered by Fichts, way to many horror stories. The Yamaha has been great. Let me know if you would like more info or additional pictures. I can be reached at (410)375-5267.

GWC3,
I believe that the 225hp is a perfect combination for the boat. With 2-3 anglers, 150 gallons of fuel, 80lbs of ice, and mics other gear the boat will cruise at 27-28 mph (3800-3900 rpms). I've only run the boat wide open once and it hit 47mph in a flat bay. If you have any other questions, give me a call. The 222 is a great boat but my wife is pushing for a walk around.
The boat is still for sale. There are approximately 300-350 hours on the 225hp and less than 30 hours on the 9.9hp kicker. I just extended the warranty on the kicker engine for another 3 years and the warranty is transferable. It includes a 2005 Venture trailer that has been in the water 6 times. The boat can be seen nearly anytime. If you have any other questins, give me a call at (410)375-5267.
The boat is now in the water and ready for sea trial. Fresh bottom paint, hull is waxed, fuel tanks filled and new batteries. Come and get it... Any questions I can be reached at (410)375-5267 or ddengler27@yahoo.com.
Thanks for the endorsement GWC3. The 222 is a great boat that can handle it all. My wife wants a walkaround and has given me the green light to look at a Gulfstream. Make me an offer before she changes her mind
