    Power Boat mag.

    A long time ago I read a review about a 22 in power boating magazine. I can not find the old issue, I was wondering if anyone had the issue and could tell me the date. It is for my father in law. He has a 22 Shelby and I do believe the test was on this boat. Any help will be more then appreciated!!!

    There was a review in PB of a 22 with an HP500 in it. They thought it was overpowered but otherwise liked it. 2500rpm was best mpg. Did another in the 80s.


    Both here.

    Powerboat Mag is history, I am sad, have been a subscriber since the 80s. Subscriptions are being fulfilled with Boating...Yikes. I'd rather get Hustler.

    The last issue was great, Donzi 35, new outboard 557, classic wooden era review, thunderboat row history article, all great stuff, but usually pretty lame.
