Our 22SS will finally arrive in Australia on the 24th December 2020. Ordered 3rd August 2020. It is currently on a ship somewhere between Mexico and Tahiti. We realistically won’t get the boat until early January 2021 because of the Christmas break and some things that need to be fitted i.e. electric anchor winch, sounder, docking lights and full enclosure around double bimini.
The boat has been Suzuki pre rigged and outboard will be fitted in Australia on arrival. The 22SS has the twin ellipticals so is rated to 150 hp. My dilemma is, should I install the lighter 140hp (126lbs lighter) or the considerably heavier 150hp at $3000 more? The 150 hp shares its engine architecture with the physically identical 175hp and 200hp. There will be 3-5 people on board and very occasionally pulling a tube.
A few photos of the boat in the factory.
