What do you want to know? . I think it has been a great all around boat so far.

Said to be "The unsinkable 22"...more foam than coast guard requires (50% more I believe). Although I think anything is sinkable.
The baysport eats up sloppy water and is a very comfortable boat
Lots of storage
well built considering the money spent
T-top is non-intrusive and sturdy.
Floats in skinny water
Stainless hardware, pop- up cleats, etc

The only problem mentioned about these boats is it tends to bow steer sometimes.

I personally love this boat for the money.
Here are some pics.



Check out the seas behind me. LOL. I was the only boat out running the coastline that day.



here it is next to my friend's 197 sportfish.

I don't know anything about them personally, but my wife parents live in Easton, MD and there is a dealer right here on route 50. I will say one thing for them, they sure are a pretty boat. Everytime I drive by I catch myself saying, I would love that one in either of the blue hulls!

With the 175 hp suzie the boat does about 42 MPH with a full load at WOT. I can go all day and barely burn fuel. Not sure exactly what the numbers are but it's minimal. I spent all day offshore running and only burned a half a tank (30 gallons or so).

Evidently Pioneer is building a 22ft sportfish...so you may want to wait.

Go to www.pioneerownersclub.com if you want more info from other pioneer owners.

Thanks for the info...I've seen one at Moncks Corner Marine and it was awesome. I'd definately wait for a 22' center console now that you say that

Thanks
