    Maybe 1979.
    Donzi developed the 22 hull and put three different decks on it.
    Actually six decks when you consider three different Criterion's, two(slightly) different 22 classic decks, and the F-22 deck.
    I think they only built nine F-22's, a larger number of Criterions, and a whole bunch of 22 Classics.

    the 22 hull evolved over the years from the Criterion to F 22 to the 22 2+3 I assume you mean the 2+3 or what is called the 22 classic
    79-80

    Is the 21-GT the same hull as the 22C? Is it an entirely unique hull?

    Carl no different hulls similar but different

    technically the first classic 22 is the 7 meter in the late 60s but not anywhere near what we know as a 22 classic

    the criterion was first of the 24X7 type hull based off the 16 and 18 lines. Cliff does have hull 1 of the criterion then they designed the f 22 and the other 2 models of criterions then the 22 2+3 which we all call the 22 classic

    The first 22 2+3 had no windshield like an 18. Then, later, a "cap" was bonded to the cockpit coaming to allow a windshield to be attached, then, eventually, a change was made to the cockpit coaming to support a windshield w/o the cap.
    These last series don't look as good w/o a windshield.
