Chris-Craft Launch 22: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Launch 22, designed by Chris Kraft, represents a modern continuation of classic powerboating heritage. This 22-foot vessel combines nostalgic styling reminiscent of the golden age of wooden powerboats with contemporary engineering to deliver a family-friendly boat that balances aesthetic appeal and performance.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The Launch 22 features a deep V-hull with a 20-degree deadrise, contributing to a smooth and stable ride. Its sleek lines, teak decking, and polished stainless steel hardware evoke the affluent boating lifestyle of a bygone era. The boat offers ample seating both aft and forward. The aft seating is arranged in an L configuration with soft, removable cushions that reveal additional storage space beneath. A transom walkthrough to starboard enhances safety, though it is somewhat narrow for larger-footed individuals. The bow area includes wide, wraparound seating equipped with flip-out grab handles and flip-down cup holders, upholstered in an off-white tone that helps minimize cleaning frequency. Removing the cushions in the bow also reveals generous storage compartments.
Helm and Seating
The helm station is distinguished by a dash panel inspired by 1930s aircraft instrumentation, featuring a perforated stainless steel panel and vintage-style multi-function gauges that streamline engine monitoring. The captain and companion seats are designed with full swivel capability, fore-and-aft adjustment, and flip-up bottoms to facilitate maneuvering. Additional seating for three guests is available in the bow, making the boat suitable for family outings or small groups.
Power and Performance
Weighing 3,400 pounds and drawing 43 inches of water with the stern drive down, the Launch 22 delivers impressive performance for its size. Powered by a robust engine, it achieved a top speed of 49 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM during testing. The boat cruises comfortably at 35 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM. With a 73-gallon fuel tank, operating at 90% capacity, the Launch 22 can cover approximately 238 miles before requiring refueling, making it well-suited for extended day trips.
Conclusion
The Launch 22 successfully blends retro aesthetics with modern functionality and performance. Its design pays homage to classic wooden powerboats while providing the reliability and comfort expected in contemporary vessels. This boat is an excellent choice for families seeking a stylish, smooth-riding, and practical powerboat.
