    Sounds like a "Ralph" type of boat.

    I like the look of no windshield on a 22.

    I'm pickin' nits, but removing the windshield from one of these boats that're designed for one doesn't go over well. It can't help but look butchered.
    Also, if it had been me, I'd have added a paragraph about any hull reinforcement I'd done, or had done.
    Hopefully, most anyone that knows these boats would know to ask, and if it hasn't been done, to run away.

    Based on the exhaust tip flange being flat on top where it meets the lip of the hull, my guess is yes it is a BH hull....

    My 1996 standard hull has those too. They must have had a lot of leftovers.

    Looks like the whole engine is higher looking at the cut-outs in the hatch. My '01/502 certainly didn't require those for Stainless Marine exhaust.

    I'd like to know more, but other than the trailer I don't see anything that would make me run away...and you can't build one for that money.
