This looks pretty cool. I like the bigger stripe; looks very neat from the stern too. Maybe it's not new for 2016 and came out before but it's new to me. Smile

I think some one at the factory got fired for getting the gel coat mixed up.

Lots of different tastes (variety is good!). I tend to prefer the "opposite" scheme (as in the previous 22's) because to me this one makes the hull look skinny and the cabin look tall (due to the colors). But for every one like me there's probably someone else who prefers this scheme. Plus it's fun to see the effect of different colors/placement.

I am with you Sunbeam. I think it looks like hell.

I like it, maybe just because its different. I'd hate to have to polish off the fender scuff marks on that black all the time though.

I think it is ok. I would not chose black though. A more moderate color would be better, maybe green or cabernet.

On the inside I like the new switch panels on the console better than the one I have (big black square), the cover over the wire bundle up the cabin side by the operator, and the fiddle rail above the sink (have to do that to my boat).

I don't much care for the wood finish on the cabinet doors. I prefer the white doors with the wood trim.

Unless the bright metal strip around the cockpit is doing something useful, it seems unnecessary to have it just for "styling" IMO.

Aye.

Someone bought it. If I ever could afford a factory new boat, it would definitely not be that color and trim scheme. But it will be maybe one of a kind and maybe that is what the new owner wanted.
