Question Bluewater Sport Fisherman Info

Anybody know anything about the 22' Bluewater Sport Fisherman I/O? Spotted a 2006 model with low hours for sale, but don't know a thing about them. Appreciate your input, pro and con please. Thanks,

Day Late

I had One for 3 seasons. It was loaded with all the options. I liked the
live wells and all the storage it has. one thing I noted about it would never run a stright line. allways back and forth.I played with the skagg
that never corrected it. It had a leak in it that I or the dealer could ever
find. it always had water in it. and one more thing I did not like was the
front cover would leak on you above the windshield and over the wheel.
the snaps did not stay on all that well. Bluewater is not building them
any more from what stevens has said. it was a fish getter.

They are still making them according to theirs homepage


The 2 things I don't like about that boat by looking at the pictures are no trim tabs and no swim platform.

That is new.Stevens marine discontinued selling them. I assumed they
quit making them. As for the trim tabs it was a standart option on the one I had.they ran off of a hyd sestem.

I have always like the looks of them, have heard though (and seen enough in various shops to believe) that the i/o installment was poor and seals had to be redone.
