I've been lurking for a few weeks, ever since I saw this 1981 222 FF on craigslist. Well, I brought her home today. Quite an ordeal at the ramp. Previous owner had her for 20 years and always stored on davits. Only set her on the trailer when a hurricane was coming. So, needless to say, the trailer was a mess. He installed new bearings I sprang for some tires and he met me at the ramp for the load up. Three hours later we had it secured enough for the 45 mile run back up the Keys to my place. It's in pretty good shape structurally. Cosmetically, we've some work to do, buffing out the gel coat, putting down some deck paint, polishing, etc., etc. Great 150 Yamaha. Thanks for being here. Whenever I start thinking I must be crazy buying a 32 year old boat, I come here for some reassurance.
 Well, I just tried to add some pics. Says pic must max 1100 pixels wide and 100 high. When I resize to 100 high the pic is so small you can hardly see it. Maybe someone could enlighten me.

Two words,

No need to re-size.

OK. Thanks to Capt. Bob, here are some pics of my 1981 222 FF. I hope.

FYI: The pic with the family on the boat isn't me. It's the previous owner. Can't wait to start working on her. Would like to put up some kind of awning over the boat to keep the leaves out and give a shady place to paint the deck. Don't know if I should spend the big bucks for something strong enough to handle the winds we get here in the Keys or something cheap I set up just when I'm going to work on her. Will soon buy a cover but not until the new, taller bimini is on.

BEAUTIFUL.

Wish mine looked half that good when I got it. Of course, that made the price a little easier too.

Welcome to the club!!!

Here is a good one: 79' 19-6 FF I/O

[BradleyD]

Just picked up this 19-6 in overall in good structural condition. Needs some buffing and cosmetic touch ups (paint eventually) and the worst thing is I need to do is fabricate a new tank. Ready to start tinkering and for some warm weather to start enjoying!

Hey very nice.

Looks like a solid foundation for many years of fun!

boy... I just posted the same question on a different page.  Here is my girl.  I have a close friend who has a 75 22-2 ff outboard,  but ive only seen one other at the boat launch one time.

[AQUA222]

I was wondering where all the FF's were......good to see there are a few out there...Is the I/O I have rare?  I almost glassed in the hole and got a bracket but read that they are sensitive in the rear and found a low hour 470 cheap, less than the cost of a fiberglass motor bracket. PLUS, If im not mistaken, the 222 came with the 470 originally.

Rare?
Well as you have seen , we don't get a lot of them here but....
They were offered with the I/O option and I'd guess that was somewhat popular at the time.

As to the 470...no idea but here's a pricing/options sheet from 76. note listed I/O options.

Good luck.
