Princecraft Ventura 222 

Seems like all around great boat. Hope to own one some day. I've been happy with my 176 Pro series fishing boat. Just need something a bit bigger for taking larger groups out for a fun day on the water. If you have the privacy enclosure and portable head unit it would be a boat you could enjoy all day on the water. Princecraft makes a nice rig.

I have made custom boat covers for a few princecraft deck boats and I have seen some pretty bad things. I had one customer that bought one new and he made it half way home from the dealer and the whole back seat detached and flew off. I just did a cover for a relatively new princecraft deck boat and the whole back wall and seat was going to rattle off within the next few trailers. The whole back wall is attached just by screws into the plywood deck and most of them were stripped out. They could have easily just put a bolt through and a washer and nut on the bottom side. That is what I had to do to fix it. I also have seen the cheapest worst quality snaps on these boats but I'm not sure if this is done in the factory or at a dealer. I have had to replace all of them before on boats that aren't too old. BEWARE and take a good look before you buy these to see if they fixed any of these issues.

Cool boat, nice video.

What size and pitch propeller was on the boat for that performance? I have a 2004 Ventura 221 with the Mercury 175.

Is this boat built to handle big water-saltwater vs freshwater only?
