I bet it will be a sled with the 6.2. I'd try to find something with more power. Just my 2 pesos.
I had a buddy go down to Shockwave and look at a used Advantage.
Boat looks pretty clean and only has about 150 hours on the clock.
How does this boat perform with a 6.2 (320hp) and a bravo 1.
Anything extra good or bad about this hull?
What kind of speed loaded with the 6.2?

Thank you!!! (I tried to talk him into a 25' Tremor but his wife is holding him pretty tight budget wise:devil: )
Who at shockwave could give him the best HB deal now that Barry is gone?

Probably be lucky to see 60mph with that setup. I've seen that boat and it appears clean.

What kind of HP is your Taco Wagon running?
I know the Howard is more efficent but you think a 320hp 22 ft boat will be a turd?
This is the guys first boat and he dosen't seem to have a huge desire to go fast.(I tried to get him into something used with the 502/496)

I have an 18 year old 454 mag in mine. 365hp I think(when it was new) and my boat will hit 70. That 22 is a lot bigger than mine and pushes a lot of water.
I've got a couple of buddies with 22 Citations, the hulls are built really solid and seem to handle a good deal of abuse, but they take a lot of power/proper set up to get them up on top of the water. they track pretty flat almost like a cat, rather than lean like most Vs do in a turn. My one buddy has owned his for approx 15 years, all in all it has been a pretty good boat.
Well that's my 2 cents

what do you think about one with a 6.2?:idea:

That boat is begging for a 450hp rebuild!!!:devil:

I got a buddy who owns one with a 496HO. The boat is a taller bulky boat unlike most 22 footers which is good for the churned up water at Havasu or the River. I don't remember exactly a top speed but I want to say somewhere around 65mph. Not the fastest boat but good for rough water and lots of space as a family boat. The 6.2L would be a little small. Like it was said earlier, try to find one with more power.

Trust me, I already have combination ready for it when this ole 454 finally retires. And its just a tad more than 450hp.

I can tell already your gonna keep that boat forever
