Of all places i found a 22 fter 4 miles from my house. The guy wants 1500.00
has not ran in 5 or six years . i will go look at it this weekend. trailer too.If it was 850.00 i could afford it but 1200 if i can talk him down maybe, will post pics as i am sure it wont be sold anytime soon. though my heart was set on a 22ft ss. but maybe a trade or something when i find one if i find one.

Those 22' Holidays are nice rigs, very high sides and penty of storage. Pugetsound sure loves his.:)

You could always do a conversion to open-bow or CC if you can't locate the holy grail(22' SS).

Post some photos if you can, I'll bet she's in good enough shape to justify paying $850-1000.

Good luck to ya!

Huron Angler is right .. I sure do love my 1975 22 Holiday. I paid 4000 for it 3 summers ago. It had the 200 OB and a older merc 9.9, 2 scotty Downriggers. fish locator other gear and ski stuff. This was West Coast prices and I do nor regret it one bit, a wonderful boat and a dream in the Pacific Ocean. I supose the one you are considering has a Mustard yellow interior??? Mine does and its all origoinal. Good luck. Pugetsound

Took my Holiday out for its last fresh water spin. A ok On the way out of the launch area a jerk crowded the road and I had a confrontation with a large bush and my Travel cover. Tree won ,but hope my canvas guy can patch up the side that got a bit shreded. Not to bad but look like hell. Still keeps the boat dry as its over the mooring cover so no water gets in. Boat ran well and its now sleepy time. Had to vent about my cover. Pugetsound

Sorry to hear about the mishap at the launch. " There always has to be one JERK out there to ruin the day!" Some people just have no consideration or common courtesy now a days. Those that don't should stay in their house. Glad to hear that the cover isn't too badly damaged, and good luck with getting it fixed up.
