Just finished reading your thread, very nice! Who did the cover? Waterproof or just a dust cover? Do you mind sharing what it cost to have made?Had a new cover made and decided to have it cover most of the boat. Very happy with the results.
Thank you! More to come. A local guy Joe who retired from his own cover business and now does it out of his garage stitched it up. It's Sunbrella material which is very durable and more water resistant than water proof. It ran me $1,800 only because I had the material run down and cover nearly most of the boat. A standard cover from him is $900.Just finished reading your thread, very nice! Who did the cover? Waterproof or just a dust cover? Do you mind sharing what it cost to have made?
So funny you mentioned this. I was literally lying in bed convincing myself that now is the time to make the change. You're thinking the 30" tabs over the 24"?Snowball is right! I would highly consider some Dana 1100s and moving them to the outer edge of the transom parallel to the water. You are going to really increase hp and I think you will find the 22 has its limits.
I like the 1100’s because you can get kicked tails. The idea is to make flat contact with the water helping the chine walk settle down without scrubbing speed or pushing the bow down. Conventional non step v bottoms need to be trimmed out to carry the nose…. 22 offshore just doesn’t do well with thatSo funny you mentioned this.

I noticed the 24 Schiada's all run a 28" tab parallel with the water. I did a lot of homework on tabs the last few days. I was unsure about using a kicked tail or not. Marine Industrial is minutes from my office. I'll pick his brain.I like the 1100’s because you can get kicked tails.

Coming along nice! Is Lalo the guy that Hammer was recommending in Castaic?Lalo isn't messing around. I'll prob have the boat back any day now. The last two pics show his repair skills on some unfortunate meetings with a Fox's and Roadrunner cleat. He also has a beautiful Schiada right now he is doing a full cap and interior spray. Congrats to the owner because she's going to be a stunner.
More than likely. Lalo was working out of Steve's shop in the Tajunga area. He will travel that way but does a lot of work out of his home shop in Hesperia. That's where my boat is now.Coming along nice! Is Lalo the guy that Hammer was recommending in Castaic?
PM on its way.More than likely. Lalo was working out of Steve's shop in the Tajunga area. He will travel that way but does a lot of work out of his home shop in Hesperia. That's where my boat is now.
Try MSF he builds all kinds of stuff and a lot cheaperWhile everything is out I decided I might as well update the interior/stereo along with a new belly tank. Let the snowball begin. This hull rides amazing but they tend to rock a bit. I talked to a guy with a 96 hull and said that the belly tank is a must. So I cut a big ass hole in the center of the floor. I took some measurements and I'll have a good friend model it up in CAD then have it laser cut/bent for about $300 total. Then I'll need a good tig welder. IMCO quoted me $1200 which was the cheapest out of the 4 quotes. Old set up had two 32 gal tanks. The new belly should be around 80 gallons.
I plan on opening up the interior side panels a bit more for storage and updating the front seats to a more modern look. I also need to decide if I should stick with carpet or go with gatorstep.
This was done long before I met Nick. He's already done some trailer work for me.Try MSF he builds all kinds of stuff and a lot cheaper
Depends on what year hull. Mine rides flat. I also moved the saddle tanks to a center belly and have the pad bottom. I've been in a few that walk and it can make you pucker.Looks great, love the colors!
I never knew what “chine walk” was on a boat until I went on the offshore and we hit 65. It was definitely sketchy.
Ours is a 97, but with saddle tanks and no pad. My husband had it before me and they kept talking about how it acts when it gets up their in speed and I asked what it was. Well…he showed me and I didn’t like it at all haha.Depends on what year hull. Mine rides flat. I also moved the saddle tanks to a center belly and have the pad bottom.

Mines a 97 with a pad. I was told 97 was the first year they introduced the pad. Do you have pics of your boat??Ours is a 97, but with saddle tanks and no pad.

Keep the updates coming!
There were a few 22 Offshores made in 1997 without the pad. SocalX09 boat was originally made as Gene's personal boat and when he took it to the boat show the original owner I bought it from talked Gene into selling it to him. Gene told the guy "if you really want it that bad then ok. I will just go build another one". According to Gene the boat was a special build because it didn't have the pad, it had a short deck even though it was a closed bow and because of that it does not have the two jump seats just under the dash. Instead it just has a flat floor all the way to the front of the boat. If you zoom in on the picture below you can see that the boat is a true V all the way to the transom.Mines a 97 with a pad.

I've only seen straight V offshores. Gene didn't make many pad bottoms. Sounds like he set that boat up just like Schiada does their "24" with no mid cabin seats. That's a great looking boat!That is very cool information
Mine is or one of the first pad bottoms with a notch for 97. There wasn't many more built after.I always really liked the look of the closed deck 220. Lines are classic. I believe in late 1997 they changed the bottom to include a transom keel notch and pad.
