Hi All
Working on Tipsy to find her a good new home and need to know what model she is. As there are not many 1985 pictures around and I just spent the last 3 hours looking through sites and have not come to a conclusion, can someone let me. She doesn't have that extra window but the back is not long like an Angler.

Thanks Laura for your input
 
Just from a "look see" at the Pinterest photo and the 1985 manufacturer's date, I'd say you have an original "Classic" CD-22.

These were made from somewhere around 1979-80 'til 1987 when the new hull and cabin shapes were introduced as the "Cruiser" and "Angler", which continue to today.

The older Classic had a flat bottom (no fore-aft rocker or athwartchips "V", and was made up of a hull bottom of 1" plywood encapsulated on both sides by fiberglass. If you look at the Classic hull from underneath, it looks just like the flat bottom surface of a clothes iron.

The new Cruiser and Angler hull shape featured moderate rocker fore and aft, with a shallowish "V" athwartships design that tapered to about 2 degrees at the stern. Also, starting with 1987, the hull construction was changed to balsa block construction encapsulated with fiberglass.

The Classic cabin was shorter than later designs. A single side window was featured, with forward looking helm and passenger seats. There was room for a mini table on one side and and a "galley," (spot for a stove) on the other, as I remember, but I've only seen a few in 20+ years, and and I'm working from memory only.

The stern was much simpler as well, with a box like engine well surrounding the motor, and did not feature the enclosed lazarette compartments of the later designs.

There was something different about the cabin shape, too. It was more rounded when viewed from the rear, but I'm not clear on this in my mind. Also, the rear cabin bulkhead was made up of all plywood panels, not fiberglass with a wood door or, later, where fiberglass and then clear glass or plastic became the choice.

I know this is not an exact description, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc., etc., then you might just have a real quacker in you midst.

BIG NOTE: The pre-1987 boats were just CD-22's, with no particular model name. Today the "Classics" are often mistakenly referred to as "Anglers", but the Angler designation didn't appear until 1987 or later. All models before 1987 are "Classics" in correct usage. The Angler label appeared after 1987 and later when the new Cruiser and Angler were introduced, and to differentiate the two new boats from the older ones, common usage started designating the older boats as "Classics", but many applied the term "Angler" to the older hulls, and the confusion continues till this day. The confusion partially also comes from the Classic having a large cockpit like the later Angler.

Has the cab of a angler but the back does not look long enough. Is it an 18 fter? they made a few. Just does not look 22ft.

We went down and messaged her after I wrote on the form. 22ft from back to nose tip and back area is a little over 8 to 8+ depending on where measuring to.

Thanks
 
Hi Joe
I think you nailed it. Yes was under it on the weekend scubbing and completely flat as far as I can remember. The main runner down the centre and then partway towards the back two more start and all end right at or pretty close to back. I'm looking at a few pictures I have and looks flat at back as well. Your desciption of the well sounds right very straight forward and gas container under it. The door is wood as are the back walls of the cabin. From there everything very open right to the front.

It's a long story but its our niegbours and we worked on it a couple of years ago to get everthing working. It's the wrong boat for thier needs, it completely decked out for fishing and needs a new home. We have been making sure everthing is working and tested, all older but seems to be working well, just have to test Propane heater and then will post on site for sale.

I've been waxing it over the last couple of weeks and so surprised how beautiful she came up must have spent some time under cover or just real quality gelcoat. I replaced the tarp window with Crystal Clear windows and that has just made all the difference.

If you have any ideas about what to check on these "classic" let me know and I will get a few more pictures up in the next week.

Thanks so much this really helps

Looks just like my 1986 22 angler, love it. What intrigues me is you have an anchor line storage drain??? I didn't think they put those in until later years, mine does not have one. PM me what your thinking on price I'm pretty interested in it I'm local down near Seattle.
