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 22 BOW RIDER is constructed utilizing only the finest materials available. We start with vinyl- ester 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.
