Hello, everyone.

I have bee looking at a 2002 22'raizor. Does any one on the board own such a boat ? How does the boat handle ? Is it a good boat ? How is this boat feel out on the big lake or offshore ?What engine would you recomand ? Any info at all would be nice.

Thank you so much,

Mattt.

Hello,

I own a 2000 22' raizor with a 310 hp 7.4 mpi. You cannot get that engine anymore, but I would recomend a big block and go as big as you can. I am running the stock setup with a K&N filter and doing 68 mph. The boat is quick though and gets up to speed before most other boats hit 50.

On the big lake you are golden with 1 to 2 footers. Anything bigger than that and you are limited to as fast as your dental work will allow. I love my boat and I plan to add goodies to the engine down the road. I think the raizor is a great inland lake boat and can hold its own. I have ran a Bravo 26 pitch 4 blade prop and can hit 70, but I am 200 rpm down. The ideal prop would be a 14 3/4 diameter 24 pitch to gain back the lost 200 rpm's and I hope to get over the 70 mph hump. What I am saying is that 310 hp is a mild platform to get 70 mph out of. It runs everytime you turn the key and gets great mileage for a big block.

I have only saw one other raizor in the two years I have owned mine. It's nice not to have the same boat as every other boater out there. PowerQuest owners think it's a Donzi or Scarab until they get close enough to read the PowerQuest logo near the back. So it's kind of an obscure boat, but I think that ads to the charm of owning one. I have driven a 24 foot Velocity and I was not impressed. My boat feels much more rock solid and the craftsmaship is leaps and bounds better then the Velocity. I think any PowerQuest is a great investment and I am a proud owner. If you want to know more just email me at [email protected]

Good luck,
