That's an awesome set up on the No Pressure! I love it. A tomcat may be in my future one day. No additional clip points needed on my gear for the bungees. The bungee is clipped to underside of rod holders, stretches across dive kit and then clips back to a fitting that was originally intended...

I dive regularly from my 22 angler. I found a 4 step ladder that I ordered from E bay with high hand rails.... fits perfectly onto my swim step. We take off our fins, then enter boat with full scuba kit. I usually keep two fully rigged kits, bungeed into the back corners of the cockpit. Helps...

I keep a 5 gallon bucket of loose diver lead as adjustable ballast. It usually rides in the place where many would keep the port a potty. That and trim tabs help keep the bow down pretty well. I replaced the normal weak bucket handle with heavy duty rope. That allows me to easily move it around...

The landing I normally use is a short distance and slow speed limit area from my house. I don't strap down when launching there. after seeing all the comments, maybe I need to change my ways.

I would like to try some overnight anchoring. Our large, sometimes 10 ft tide swings make me nervous though. I don't want to fall asleep in a good position and wake to find myself in a different situation. Beautiful boat you have!

My girlfriend and I are fairly adventurous. We are new to cruising, but my 22 Angler has been great fun for us! We don't anchor overnight anywhere, just hop from marina to marina and usually uber to restaurants while there. Our biggest cruising excursion so far was our recent trip from Hilton...

Thanks for all the replies. I checked clearance on level ground, and it looks like I have about 3" or so. That's too small for me to feel comfortable leaving it down when pulling out.....so I guess I made the right call. Next time I'll have a t handle small shaft screwdriver to better access...

Yesterday my trim control (both on engine and at the helm) would only go downward, no up movement. This happenned while in the water. I wasn't sure what the clearance would be if I were to attempt putting the boat back on the trailer. Do some folks haul their boats out of the water with the...

Thanks Paul, Yes, the Great Republic could work as my dream dive boat! Im surprised there's not more demand for that model. The center console is nice too, but it lacks the C dory look in my opinion.. In my area, everyone owns a center console. I did look at Parkers before buying my C dory...

I am absolutely loving my 22 Angler as a inshore and near shore dive boat. However, I'm always looking at the future. Was there ever a larger Angler designed? More cockpit / same simple cabin is what I am envisioning.

I'm really enjoying the book! Amazing pictures, and I like the writing style as well.
