I am with you on that Alan.......the 22' smirked Revenge (Outrage inclusive) is a great hull. In one of my web wanderings (and I wish I could find it again) they had hull comparisons of Whalers past and present. The smirked hull version (the one's fabricated immediately after the banana hulls) had the highest weather condition rating of all the hulls of similar length to present day. My best to you.

I hope the fellow who asked about bilge pumps does not mind the side track. However......knowing the layouts of existing water patterns within your hull is paramount for location. The bilge on my cabin floor was necessary because when docked in water for an extended time, when it rains, water seeks it level. After a series of storms I had a foot or so of water in thew cuddy. My discharge hose went through the rigging tunnel. When on a trailer....just pull the plug.
