i have a 1986 22ft chris craft stinger for sale that can be had for almost a third of what you're looking to spend. Put 5k into fixing it up a little, and another 5k back into your wallet.

I had a new '98 Baja 20 Outlaw. Sold it with in 70 days. Crap! Rode terrible and creaked and groaned. I drove it mainly on small bays where the only waves were boat wakes. Too afraid to take it on the Ches Bay. So don't buy one of those.
Bought a new '98 22 Scarab w/ 454. Nice boat. Rode well, handled predictably and felt . . . .right. Well built boat.
Some had a hook at the transom, take that out and you'll gain some MPH.

Even if the boat has a hook, it is a GREAT 22' boat!!!
