Willing to pay for a sea trial of a 22-2 flatback
« on: April 01, 2008, 10:01:39 AM »
I'm very interested in purchasing a 22-2 flatback. I love the lines and layout of the boat but have never been on one that was in the water. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to take a stranger out for a brief spin so that I could see what the boat is like? I would be more than willing to pay for someone's time/gas.

I'm a medical professional, employed, and not insane so you'll have no worries about getting some crazy dude on your boat!!! I don't want to waste a seller's time going for a sea trial if this isn't the boat for me. I'm in Tampa near down town but can certainly travel for a sea trial. Can meet up by land or sea at a time that is convenient for you. I'm off work for the next 9 days so anytime is good for me.

Alternatively, if anyone knows of a good (or great) guide that fishes out of one of these boats, please pass along the name and contact info as I'd consider chartering for the day.

Thanks :lol:

Capt. Jim Lemke of light tackle adventures fishes out of one - he is on this site as "Capt Flatback".  Great guy, great boat.  Bill Miller (from HOF) also has one - but I do not know him as well.

If you're interested in seeing the details of a rebuild, I am in N Tampa and always happy to chat about boats and drink a beer.

I am in Bradenton and I own a 1969 22-2 flatback that I use all the time.  I have not done any restoration but I am willing to meet with you.
