Evening all, I have a wallas 95d. When I purchased the boat, it was inoperable, and after a little investigation I found the diesel tank full of some really bad fuel and the fuel pump gummed badly too. I was able to get all of that taken care of, and the stove worked perfectly for several...

Thanks thataway. The information you provided was what I was looking for. Regarding lwl, Colby stated hull speed for a 22 was roughly 5 mph. H.S. = 1.34 x √LWL is a general equation giving hull speed in knots, and doing a little reverse engineering is what put me at the 16.25 ft. Perhaps I'm...

Lots of good comments, thanks fellas. I really wasn't interested in fuel consumption for the overall trip, but rather mpg @ any given rpm, within the confines of similar water conditions throughout the range. Since hull speed on the 22 is only a tad above 5 mph, based on a lwl of 16.25 ft...

Fuel consumption.... Evening folks... just got back from a 3 day cruise on our 22. Total milage for the trip was 172 miles, and did some testing while out. Twin 50 hp Hondas, carbureted Rpm. Speed 2000. 7.1 mph 2500. 8.5 mph 3000. no data 3500. 13 mph 4000. 17.5 mph 4500. 20 mph...

Terrific insight fellas. Thanks so much for all!

Opinions? As mentioned in a previous post, I have pretty much committed to a 2004 22 ft cruiser. Heading up to get the seatrial done next week with final survey. This is an Interesting and almost virgin boat. I have never seen a 16 year old vessel with out a little gel coat spidering, this one...

All great info, and a whopping tanks to you guys. What are your thoughts on a survey? Since the boat is represented by boat dealership, would it be wise to get this done by an external source?

Thanks gents. Fortunately, (I think!) This is an actual honda outboard dealership. I won't make an offer without looking at the total package. On another note, are their any points which I should be eyeful of on the boat itself? My wife and I, recently retired, want to use this as knock about...

Greetings, I'm headed to a neighboring state to look at a 2004 22 ft. cruiser. The boat is well equipped and has the same vintage 50 hp honda twins. Carbureted, so no way of telling the hours. Being somewhat new to both this engine, and the c-dory line, can anyone give an opinion of these...
