Well-equipped 1978 Sisu 22! Powered by a 150 HP Cummins diesel!
Based on the classic Downeast design, these hulls were built for economical work, and fluid lines.
The boat is straightforward with a large open deck that's covered by a bimini, closed transom, low freeboard aft, that transitions into a covered helm with a large windshield. There is a forward V-berth with a simple companionway. It has the basic electronics of a VHF and a small Garmin.
It does have spray rails attached from the bow to mid-ship.
There is a hinged kicker motor mount on the transom.
The original Perkins engine was removed and replaced with a used, take-out Cummins 4BT turbo diesel with closed cooling. The actual engine hours are unknown.
If you embrace the classics, this lovely traditional design will appeal to you!
