220 Offshore
With its 22 degree deep vee hull fitted with 4 lifting strakes and reverse chine's, the 220 Magnum is designed for the performance purist who demands nothing but the finest, regardless of size. Equally at home on large lakes and unprotected bodies of water, this boat epitomizes high performance boating. Easily attaining 60 plus mph with stock power (6.2 MerCruiser), to radar backed 80 mph with optional power (MerCruiser HP 525), the handling and performance of this magnificent machine are second to none. The deep cockpit and large cabin fitted with twin vee berth and matching love seats make this one of the roomiest 22 footers afloat. With your choice of interior options, unlimited graphics and exterior colors, you literally design your own boat. Choose the power plant which best suits your needs and prepare yourself for custom boating at its finest.
Construction:
The HOWARD 220 OFFSHORE is constructed utilizing only the finest materials available. We start with vinyl-ster resin and Knytex knitted Bi and Tri directional glass fabric. The entire hull is cored with Baltek foam reinforcement. The hull and deck are joined together with Knytex 1708 Bi-directional glass fabric. Our floors are molded one piece (Balsa cored) fiberglass. Our seat bases, front and rear, are molded fiberglass, as is our sundeck. All stringers, bulkheads, floors and fuel tanks are installed while still in the mold to insure a perfect fit. Like all Howard's, the mold cure time is two weeks to insure proper curing and strength with no distortion. All hardware is Grade A aircraft quality stainless steel. Howard's absolute insistence on quality and meticulous attention to detail has produced the finest sportboat available.
Performance:
Exhilarating, Fast, Stable, and Smooth Riding! One ride and you will be saying all of these things.
