22 Classic on L.I.
 

I am looking at a few different boats for use on the South Shore of Long Island; protected waters around Freeport and Merrick, Island Park, etc. Does anyone have experience with the 22 Classic in these waters? Are you enduring a pretty rough ride with the combination of typical water conditions and larger boat wakes? The other boats that I am looking at are the 24 Pantera, Superboat and Progression, which all have more freeboard than the Classic. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey Ken,
Go see JC and have him rig a 24' for you...
Or, I'll sell you mine next year... :D

Ken, a 22 classic is perfect for those waters.
But I'd get an older one.

Is the draft less on the 22 than a 24SB or pantera?

Re: 22 Classic on L.I.
 

My vote would be a 22 Progression with a 300x. Fast boat and great ride...

The 22 Donzi for the record is a very wet boat. I had a 16 and my friend had a 22. We had a lot of fun with those boats but they are for young guys with good backs. And young girls with bikini's.........

Titan, that is what I suspected. I appreciate your information.
Thanks,
Ken

I have a 95 22 Classic w/ 502 and Blackhawk for sale. It has about 50hrs on it. The boat is very clean. We took it on trade for a F150 and it only gets used a couple of times a year. It is a nice boat. Call me if interested.

Had a 22 Classic in the Patchogue area for 4 years. Most of the time it ran very well. As for getting wet, everyone in that size boat given the freeboard takes an occasional spray.

That is true..

I did love my 16 though. It was a great boat for water skiing and running around as a kid. But know I like a little comfort.
