$50,000.
A 22 is nearly that. $47K - 48K.

I would bet it will be in the mid 50s.

[cmdrost]

Yeah I bet its close to $60k after its all said and done. 24 ft boat....300 verado, electronics, etc.

You can put a 300 on blackjack 224. I know because I just bought one from Big Wheel Boats. We checked with Bill Kenner and he said it was okay.

[Teebone]

Can too put a 300 on a Blackjack. Bill Kenner just okayed one for the 224 I just bought at Big Wheel in Hammond.

Neither one sir.

I dont understand why they designed the front side hatches to open toward the inside of the boat??

[alphaman]

I was told, and from experience, it makes it easier to load fishing poles, gear etc. From the side while boat is on the trailer. I like it that way.

I have a 2104 frontier. Once im on the water I take the poles out and put them in pole holders on the console. I dont really use the side compartment until it's time to store the poles again.

Also if you have things on the hatches that open outward and forget to take them off before opening, your items wont fly into the water..

I was only sharing this reason because it is an actual application used by other boat manufacturers in the skiff market. Loading the boat from the outside is also applied in the skiff market. These are reasons that could easily be applied by a boat manufacturer to add something "new" to a boat if they run out of options for new models.

If you think about it both these reasons make sense...there are plenty of people that buy boats that don't really know what they are doing, they see a nice boat that their buddy has and go buy it, get out on the water and get to potlicking. These are the same people that will leave a tackle bag on the deck then open the hatch to grab some sunscreen or snacks for the kiddos and watch the gear fall overboard.

Yall can share your opinions, to each his own I don't really care... If you want to know the real reason contact the boat manufacturer.

Most skiffs manufactures that are concerned with loading the boat from the outside make their hatches open from back to front.
