BV22 CC - thoughts?

[Zodiac fisher]

I'm seriously considering getting a BV22 CC built. Have run a number of the old BV18's and they are solid. What are your thoughts and criticisms? Attached is the brochure for reference. Would be a fishing and family adventure boat for up and down the coast.

Drool……… was just looking at one on the Bridgeview Facebook page today with the 200 and the big kicker. Yellow graphics on the side. What a lovely boat.

Saw that boat in person in the town of Kitsault. Brand new and sitting high and dry at the mediocre dock (dries up on every low tide and not the friendliest bottom)

I personally like the CC benefits. Easy to fish out of solo. With the covered console and appropriate clothing not a huge concern

Where I keep my boat, the trailer and slip are the least expensive due to it being an 18'boat (Bridgeview as well), so if I was to move up, everything will cost more per month. I would love the 22', however the 18 will be with me for the foreseeable future.

Who doesn't love a build thread! Good luck. What power would you choose?

I completely get that! The 18 is a great boat and perfect for local fishing. I thought about the new 18 but feel I’ll outgrow it too quickly.

Thinking twin 115’s. Fuel capacity is a constraint (60 gallons).

What are you doing up in Kitsault? I worked there in the 80's when it was a molybdenum mine, flying in from Rupert when I was with a glass company.

What is the ballpark cost to order the boat?

There's a guy named Rob at Lion's Bay Marina that has a beauty BV CC 20'? 22'? with a 250 on it. Looks so solid and wide and just perfect. Had boat envy for sure. Often just parked right at the docks there.

Ditto. No replacement for fishability

You should ask if they can put in a bigger tank. Pretty sure the boats are made to order. It's probably worth asking.

Definitely at the top of my list of questions.

Nice!! The town is still in pretty good shape.

Avanti was working on getting the molybdenum mine back up and running in 2008-2014 or so but believe they ran into some issues.

I was across the bay in Alice Arm.
