22 SR is one of the five different declinations Karnic proposes for its 6.48-metre boat. The base is a beautiful original and rather narrow bottom, with a high step which extends towards the bow for a greater static and dynamic stability. It’s a day cruiser with a small fore cabin; a family boat, a perfect holiday machine. And rather affordable, too.
The fore zone is maybe this boat’s best: the sunbathing platform is large enough for one person, while the anchor area reminds that one of a bigger boat: functional and well-arranged, it also allows a safe and comfortable passage to the quay.
The cockpit has a traditional L-shape, with a detachable table and a lateral opening which leads to the diving platform. Just behind the pilot’s seats, there is a small kitchen, equipped with a storable sink and room for a small camping fridge.
We particularly liked the synthetic bridge cover, a sort of plastic teak, very safe, cheap and coherent with the boat concept.
The small “refuge” below deck houses a double 186×184 cm (height is 109 cm) cabin and an optional chemical wc (which disappears under the bed).
SEA TRIAL. 22 SR is a really fast and funny boat. Maximum speed can reach over 37 knots, not bad for a “family boat”. But the most interesting thing is that anyone can find his ideal speed: those who care about consumption will choose a 21.6-knot speed with 3500 engine revolutions (in this case, consumption is just 0.8 l/mile); on the contrary, fast cruising speed is 33.5 knots (5200 revolutions, 1.2 l/mile). A good solution may be at 4500 revolutions: 29.22 knots, 1 l/mile.
In terms of handling, the boat is always funny and comfortable, despite its speed. The bottom is precise and always soft and the seat is very comfortable. The same cannot be said for the shelter offered by the windscreen. Vibrations and noise are very low, which is rare on boats like this. According to us, price is good: 44,000 euros, VAT included.
