angler 220b center console

[gacman2000]

I am considering purchasing this 22" center console. The boat is new w/ a bracket mounted outboard 225hp motor. However this boat has only 17 degrees of deadrise. I am concerned how this boat will in rough waters. I would appreciate any info on this boat.<br /><br />Thank you

gacman,<br /><br />I'm with you on your concerns. 17 degrees is a bit soft. It sounds like this boat is more of what is now called a "bay boat".

That's exactly what it is. <br />I have a Angler 20'CC that has that same 17deg deadrise. It's definitely not an offshore battle wagon.

MifeF,<br /><br />That is EXACTLY why I ended up selling my Palm Beach 19' "BayDancer". <br /><br />I knew it going in, yet after I moved, I found these canyon lake here could put up quite a chop. I wanted to keep my fillings in my mouth.

djohns19 - You should try a 17' aluminum bassboat on those same lakes . Well, it worked fine down at Patagonia Lake. Maybe there is a reason for Bartlett Reservior.<br /><br />Kelly Cook

Thank you for the replies.<br /><br />Also looking at a pro sports 2200BW center console 200 evinrude ficht 25deg deadrise. I like the motor but the boat seams a little cheap and less room than the angler. Do you need that much deadrise i think the boat may roll while drifting.<br /><br />Another boat looking at for more money is a seaswirl striper 2301 center console. like the boat with its high sides but lacks seats for family trips. 20 deg. deadrise with 200hp johnson ocean pro. I wonder if this is enough power for this bigger and heavier boat and also carb moter.<br /><br />Any input on my buying decision would be helpfull.<br /><br />Thank you, Gary
