My new '06 22ZX

[22zxla]

Wow! Really like the look of that boat! So its the last 22zx huh? Like what you did with the depth finder , always thought something should go there. Hope you enjoy!

[Mr X]

Wow! Its beautiful Mark!
Hope to see it in person soon.

Ted,
Maybe we should set up some sort of "coming out" party for the 22ZX by having a SEADOG reunion at Porkeys in the next few weeks.

22ZXLA,
What is the recommended procedure for going forward on the bow to tie up? Can't use the windshield for a grabhandle, and don't have any decklights to climb up through.

[Mr X]

Now that sounds like a great idea!
Or in Sanford on Lake Monroe.....?

And then there is the issue of naming this vessel. Early returns have narrowed the hunt somewhat. Here are a few "Keepers" in no particular order:

1. Loaded for Bare (yes, I spelled Bare correctly for this application)
2. Cool Jazz
3. Wild Thang
4. Outta da Blue
5. Blue Thunder
6. Donzi Quixote (current front runner)


So, I officially open up this thread to suggestions for a name.

[Mr X]

Blew by you.
Or a variant of,
Blue bayou
Blewbyyou

As far as getting to the bow i just jump over the fairing. I dont have the clear windshield on top of mine like you have. Thought love the look of it! Saw a post few days ago bout someones cracking , now im leary about jumping over mine!AS far as name havent named mine either mainly cause really no room on transom or swim platform. For your name think i would try to incorporate the fact that its the last one made. Just a thought.

I like the graphics. What brand is that trailer?

I'll run to Porkey's anytime. If anyone else wants to run from the south, it's a nice 30 mile run from here.

I forgot to ask,.....................did you supersize the bimini for 39 cents more?

[Last Tango]

Cuda,
You bring 'em up from the south, and I'll bring 'em down from the north and we'll converge on Porkey's. I know Ted is still a bit queasy about going there since his infamous Ted-burger experience there years ago. But maybe we can convince him to come anyway. We need a "fresh" photo of the SEADOGs to go with my historic one.
On the Bimini front... I considered doing a custom fit Bimini that would tuck under the front fairing and windshield when not in use. I also wanted to make a complete Eisenglas enclosure including windshield, sides, and camper rear so it could be set up like a pop-up camper.
Unfortunately for me and lucky for you, the front fairing is sharply curved and there is no good way to tuck it under there and make it look right since the bows on the Bimini are essentially rectangular. Unless I wanted the Bimini top bows to be curved like a Connestoga wagon (or early Porsche Speedster top). Or, I COULD have it lay BACK in front of the engine cover, but I had YOUR best interests in mind and felt your continued good health far exceeded my needs for a Bimini since it would make you sick to death if I did one. LOL!
Besides, isn't that what that little cuddy cabin is for?

[BUIZILLA]

Mark, I like that boat. I think ya did good.
