It looks like the sides are pretty low in that boat, didn't know how good it would take the rough water.
It does fine in rough water,unless you a running with a crosswind then you will get wet no matter what boat. Head on or quartering the waves is no problem. We had it in some 3-4 footers in toledo bend this spring running 40mph no problem. Gets even smoother at 50mph,but gets a lil air. My dad has a non hpdi vmax 225 and it runs 65mph with a light fuel load. It also floats in 10-11" of water.

agree.....I wouldn't call my boat underpowered but I do beleive it could use the 200 and would be more efficient.

Talked with over 4 dealerships before I bought mine and all 4 talked me out of the 200 Oh well.

But I'll give you a strong recommendation for the Frontier. Great boats....little cheaper than its big brother Blackjack.

Haynie great boat too! I really like the Blazer Bays also.

20 footer with a 150 is not underpowered. 22 foot needs atleast a 200.

you'll like the haynie but it is a rolled edge boat and dosent have the nice finish like the cap boats and the cap boats have more storage.

Rolled gunnels are much easier to clean though.

Take a look at the the 2170 rolled edge blazer bay r the 2200 with the liner blazer bay. Same hull. Just 21 is rolled edge and 22 has insert. Both r very nice. I'm getting the 2170
