Who's fuel tank did you use? Dimensions and capacity?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm in the middle of mine and looking for some advice.

fm69912 -

1.  The Porta surely adjusted the draft at the stern.  I can tell you that as the boat sits I can run her in 12" - 13" with the Porta full up and trimmed a little.  Trim tabs also help.  Very good for a 22ft boat.  So, go for it, the Porta will increase your versatility.

2.  Tank is 65 gallon, don't have dimension specs, sorry.

Everyone else - sorry for the delay on the final photo spread.  The weather has sucked and she is back to the shop for a 3rd set of hiccups, all mostly cosmetic stuff.  Hopefully we get it all tied up on this visit.  

I am knee deep in pre-study for SeaSchool.  Pretty soon it'll be CAPTAIN Undertow2 to you!!! :lol:

To be or not to be ..... a Captain, that is the question!

Update -

SeaSchool going good, not worried about it anymore, now just a matter of getting paperwork together.

Bayside still has my boat will probably call tomorrow to get an update.  It's been 3 weeks and I am ready to get out.  The day I get her back I plan to get some (finally) detailed photos.

Cross your fingers for me guys...she is "supposedly" ready for pickup from this 3rd return trip tomorrow morning.  It almost feels like picking her up for the first time again, which I guess is cool.

Well, she is at a buddy's house right now for some body/paint repair and improvement and overspray removal on the Porta.  I am at that point in the game whereas it is seeming like a treadmill to get this boat finally finished, so I am frustrated and will refrain from comment at this time.

it looks like you found molds for an anchor locker and a hatch box of some sort, did you make or buy these?

Took her out yesterday for a maiden offshore run.  We went 30 miles out of John's Pass.  We hit the Betty Rose and some other spots out further looking for some King action and wanted to refit the freezer with some grouper.  All wishes were granted.  2 Kings, 4 BIG gags, and I even caught a 10 pound mangrove snapper.  Bait was wadded up everywhere 2 miles offshore.  For the doubters:







The 22-2 performed well.  Seas were 1-2 in the morning I was able to keep about 30-34 mph quite easily with the hull doing what it was designed to do, with the aid of trim tabs.  Seas got to a strong 2-3 on the way back still managed 24 mph with some spray in the face here and there.  You gotta love that ride.  Like butta.  Not quite sure yet but am pretty sure I am getting well over 5 mpg.  Very satisfied with that.

Photos coming, I swear.
