1973 22-2 CC rebuild Completed!

Travis used to build platforms like that, havn't seen one in a while though. Theres a guy on ebay that sells them as well, pretty cheap. Do a search for swim platforms.

who did the livewell on the boat? 40 or 45 gallon?

Yea I'll get a SS prop and use this AL one as a spare.

The swim platform came from the same guy I bought the T-Top from. There's a sticker in it that says its from Aluminum Outfitters in Gibsonton.
Their web site has pictures of a similiar platform on another boat.

There's also a pretty interesting "from scratch" boat project if you look through the site a bit.

The console and live well were both done by Stem To Stern. It's a 40 gallon well.

Let me be the first to congratulate Mike on a beautiful boat.  Went by his house today to check it out - SWEET!   8)

Now it's time to get some fish guts on it...

Smooth ride, good balance with trim tabs up.
What a GREAT day!!!!!

Looks very nice.

Congrats - long time coming and worth the wait I see.

Mike, may I ask where you got the recessed nav lights from?  I have been scouring the online sites and none have these.  There are recessed docking lights similar to these but none with navigation lenses.  That is such a cool look on the AS.




Thanks, M.D.

Thanks.  None on Ebay but I found the brand name.  Took about an hour to using google to find a supplier, JMSMarine.  They ship today!.

mike it was nice meeting you and the mrs this past friday, not to mention seeing your beautiful 222.

[Mike Answeeney]

Well, except for a few small comfort items, the restoration is complete!  There's no way I could have even begun to imagine that this project would turn out this nice.  She runs in the flats and open water as good as she looks.  

Thanks to all the members for your advice and support. I feel like I have a new family and definately a few new friends.  See ya all on the water!
