Eric, not sure when you bought your 22 (must have been in the begining cause i dont think Karl makes the 22 anymore) but i bet you may have seen an "Old Timer" working there...that was Rusty...and he along with i think Steve Koss built the 25 plugs/molds...they may have taken some styling's from the apache but its an all orriginal boat...no splashing there from what ive been told. Karl Called me tolday right after i posted asking/teasing me when i'm buying a 25 hull! 
DAMN YOU KARL!
DAMN YOU KARL!

Nice thing about the boats Karl builds is theres a few guys working for him that were laying up the Powerplay boats back in the day..so they know what they are doing...and yes its a VERY good quality rig!

DAMN YOU KARL! Hey Wally,
I didn't buy the boat new. I basically stole a '99 that was on Craigslist but I called Karl to confirm certain things about the boat. He also helped me with some of the OEM hardware and some non OEM. Gotta tell you they they are a GREAT bunch of folks from Glenda (the receptionist) to Karl the owner. Very helpful in every aspect. I hope they build the 25.
ps... from what I was told, you could still buy the 22.... but it's alot of $$..

Yea....ive spoke to Karl many a time about that 22....reason its up there is that its not a popular seller and the molds are somewhat older so fitting everyything proper takes a little "finesse" But yeah he has a great crew there....have you seen their new 20' bay boat? if you get a chance to stop by the shop, do it! ....very sweet ride and he has some killer seats in it for thier fishing tourny's

This was the last 22 they built...funy thing happened while Karl was taking pics of it...he was floating in the water on his back taking shots of the boat floating when the Coasties came by...i can only imagine what they thought when they see a body floating near a boat anyway they came right down ontop of him...he kept taking pics till the prop wash from the rotors started kicking up water! LOL Then he waved them off that he was ok...took some good shots of the chopper too! LOL

It's a shame that they don't keep building it...
