Finally figured it out!
 
3 Years ago I purchased an 04 22 Classic, It was a rescue boat with low hours. Interior was perfect but the gelcoat was trash. Had a guy wet sand and buff came out looking great. At 63 and boating all of my life with owning more boats than I can count on two hands, my 22 Classic was the most challenging. After spending countless hours on this forum I finally came to the conclusion that everything every body says about these boats is correct. It's a drivers boat! You need seat time! I could not get over the fact of old school go fast boating trim up with no tabs! You can't do that with this boat, and once I pulled my head out of my butt I realizied how much fun this boat can be to drive. I'm running a Rev 4 25P at 74mph but am wanting to try the original prop Mirage Plus 25P 3 blade to see if I get anymore MPH?

Love the 22 Classic, they sound like a fun boat to drive and look great of course.
They're often referred to as a "driver's boat" and I've figured that out. In layman's terms, they'll run hard but they're a huge handful!
Enjoy!

Welcome to the cult and glad to hear you survived the learning curve. For top speed you should be able to raise both tabs as you raise the drive.
