Whoa, how cool is that? FInally someone tracks one down! Congratulations Scott, I know over the years the hunt for your old boat has been a serious quest for you, it's great to hear you found it again! While rumored at 10 built, yours was the only physically confirmed one we knew of other than the black one that used to be in Miami. Hopefully it's in reasonable condition, although I know when you are done it will be above perfect. Pictures? What hull # is it, we have identified a few of the C2's already, wonder which one this is??

Criterion: 15 produced. Rear bench seat, walk through between two windshields to the front passenger compartment. Available LH or RH steering. Know where the majority of the surviving ones are. None known to be currently for sale..

Critertion II: 10 produced. Rear bench seat only, no walk through or forward seat. Removeable console between the passengers. LH steering only. Rumored to have been mostly twin turbo motors, none are currently known to exist.

Criterion SS: 4 produced. Rear bench seat, no walk through, forward "rumble seat" under a hatch. First 2 had hydraulic hatches, others did not. RH steering only. Blue catalog boat was also the Miamuh boat show boat, currently in my possession :D Wherabouts of the other 3 known, none for sale at any price..

BTW, always meant to correct that. 5 produced, all whereabouts known. And one has LH steering as my Canadian friend was quick to point out LOL! It sold VERY recently, and is back on American soil :)

Its all original gel coat. Interior is good with now rips. It needs a good detail and buff. Boat ended up in Maine for 21+ years and never used but maybe a dozen times.Been back in NJ for the past 4. Shows 130 hours. Motor is shot and turbos are gone. No line card for the HIN#. I'm pretty sure this is the brochure boat. LH steering. Plane is to clean it up, throw a motor in it and use it. Its worth more to me unrestored and not touched.

Bring it up with you next week Scott! I'm sure we can come up with a motor to run around in until you get something built for it! I know of an old 330 long block that can be had for cheap.

My buddy has one. It was owned by Ford and built for him. It is Detroit Lions blue and silver. All restored.

I think he is going to place it for sale.

How can I tow 2 boats? I have to get the Hornet ready...Fuel pump crapped out for a second time! Not sure why they keep wiping out. I will have to call in the morning and have the parts over nighted.

Sounds like a good plan. There are several 22's around that production time that the build records are blank, no info. Must be one of those.

Chip did an awesome job on the restoration, beautiful boat. Is it now for sale, I didn't think he was going to sell it?

Yes, he is almost done with her, it beautiful boat. 2 weeks ago when we spoke he said after completion he will run it and then most likely sell it.

It will be an expensive boat since he has all the documentation of ownership, etc.
