1965 22-2

[CLM65]

Here is mine shortly after I got it and started the demolition.  Unfortunately I don't seem to have any pre-demo.  I'm hoping that maybe Scotty has some from when he listed it for sale.  We think the boat is a 1967, but don't know for sure.  It had two side consoles, which may or may not have been original (probably not, but who knows).  Also, there are no hatches in the casting deck - just an opening on the vertical face that you can see in the pic.

Thanks appreciate it! I went through most of the gallery trying to find pictures of before demo and there are very few pics of how everybody's boat looked before they rebuilt it, Im hoping by posting pics before demo we can document & preserve the aquasports history a little better!

Note: If you browse the 22-2 rebuilds (FB) you can find links to other members PB pages. You may find help there also.

Good luck.

Here is the best image left of Craig's Flatback Fireboat. Reckon the rest of them showing the dual consoles etc. went missing during the transfer.

There was also a video of the Fireboat which Lewis shot. Can't find that either. CB to the rescue?!?!  Thanks!

This link is down a ways in the first page so scroll back to the beginning.

Some links may not work in this thread but they can be visited with a little work if you use some logic.

I'll look for the vid and try and re-direct the broken links.

Here's a link to Bhard's 66 diver FB

Thank you very much my friend! I don't know how you do it, but you always do.

Great job!

[CLM65]

Thanks Bob!  You know, Scotty is lucky that I didn't see that thread before I bought the boat...may have changed my mind!
