Roger, I live just across the river in Vancouver, WA and I'm another newbie here. I was incredibly lucky finding my boat, but I sympathize with your search. I was looking for a 22' Cruiser (anywhere on the West Coast) and I didn't have any luck until I worked with a boat broker in Portland...

If you want to hit hull speed in a CD22, with a little extra power to handle a heavily loaded boat or wind/tides/currents, I would suggest no less than 8 hp or the electric equivalent. A 9.9 kicker pushes my 22 Angler along very happily at a bit over 6 mph, while burning slightly less than 1...

I also needed cockpit seating (for a 22' Angler) and I went a different route. I got two white Igloo 120 quart coolers, and covered the tops with padded self-adhesive boat flooring. The padded flooring gives a softer surface to sit on, and your butt (or a cushion) won't slide off of it. I put...
