22′ Center Console Float Test

22′ Center Console Float Test

We launched the 22′ Center Console boat a couple of weeks ago for a float test, to reassure the decisions on the self-baling deck and to see how she sat in the water before she’s loaded. I’m very happy with the way she sits; she looks like she’ll be a good sea boat. Here are a few pics. Stay tuned…

In May we flipped the 22′ center console and I began making her stronger with the interior glass sheathing and 3/4″ ocoume bulkheads on 16″ centers.  I got the deck fit and the lookouts are cut and fit. Here are some pictures of the process.
