The 19 is a great boat I bought one in 2010 Gary at Jerry Whittle gave me a great deal on it. Event though it was a 19' it did handle the rough water fairly well, it had a good amount of storage I felt. The only draw back to it I felt was if you fished with any more than two people it got a little cramped. That and the fact the 115 did not push it over 38mph motivated me to get the 22bx with a 250 Yamaha. It's a bad dude just my 2 cents hold out for the bigger boat, you will not be disapointed.

I have the same boat and motor , what prop are you running ?

Seahunt'n how's the 22 with the 250 run? I have a bx24br with a 300 coming, bought at Jerry Whittle, it will be ready this coming week,

Sorry guys I just looked at my post that I made from my phone and it says 8mph it should of said 48 MPH. The yamaha 150 4 stroke is strong.

It runs great it will run 58 on GPS, I love this thing wish I had gotten the t top though. Other than that, between the amount of storage the capability to handle that rough water lewisville is known for I love this boat. So if you guys ever see a black bx 22 out there come say hey.

Will do, I ordered a solid white one, and luckily it has a
t top, I can't wait to take it to the coast

Wondering if the t top w cause any problems getting in low spots though

Here's my boat


Yamaha has a nice page where they test all their motors to different band\sizes of boats. This is where i did my research.

Tops out at 55mph GPS calm day, usually 52mph, 4 guys, 3 live wells full of water, normal conditions. It would go 5+ mph without top, But i love the top, speakers, misters, LED blue lights built in. Horrible to tow though I get about 8 mpg with a 5.7 hemi.

Very Nice boat! I am new to this forum, and haven't figured out how to post pictures. If I can figure it out, I will post some when we pick it up this week.

I wanted to get the 24' too but the decked out 22' was sooo tempting. You will love your new 300hp 4.3L. those motors are great!
