2021 XT22 Build Help

[mjohnsen]

Sold the 2017 NXT22 and dealer had one 2021 XT22 build slot left that goes red on Monday and need some help finalizing a few choices:

1. Transom walkthrough - wife's favorite spot when we're anchored or tied up is laying across the sunpad, so she wasn't a fan of the walk through and having to mess with the snap in pad. Anyone order one without the walk through and have any pics of what it looks like? Boat builder defaults to the walk through and dealer didn't have any without the walk through. Based on all the pictures I've found on TT, it looks like the majority prefer the walk through.
2. Odessa flint vs. slate grey for interior base 2 & 3 (Odessa platinum is interior base 1 in the pics)? Boat builder representation of the interior greys is not very good IMO. I think I saw another post where someone said the slate has a bit of a gold shimmer to it when the sun hits it.
3. Silver vs black tower cans? Guessing most say silver since the black gives the NXT look?

Mandatory pics below. Slate grey and jet stream blue flake exterior.

I have the walkthrough and used the snap pad a few times. It feels normal with it in place but we love the hard walk area. I would add some blue in the interior with piping and logos. I like the look of the lighter gray interior. Make sure you get fast fill and starboard pop up seat! Those are must haves no questions!

[mjohnsen]

Thanks for the reply! Planning on blue stitching, monograms and welt and the starboard pop up as well.

You do any cold weather boating?

I have a x24 with similar colors. Here are some pics for reference

Enjoy the new boat.

If you plan to run heavy ballast, ask for the high altitude prop.

2020 with 160 hrs

No regrets on:

DockStar
7” touchscreen
Center walkway
Reversible seat
Pop up starboard headrest
Flip up transom seats
Bow filler cushion

Wish I had:

6.2 GDI engine - 6.0 is loud and thirsty
FastFill - all the engine hours you rack up filling your tanks more than justify the cost
Bigger mirror

Could have gone either way on:

BTS windshield

If you plan to run ANY ballast, get the high altitude prop...

Yeah high altitude prop all day! Most people use the 15x13. If you don’t want blue vinyl then maybe some blue and Black Sea dek to bring it all together

What does the high altitude do for you?

We do a little in October and I've read a bunch of the posts about BTS vs. wrap around as we were undecided on that at first. In the end, we liked the look of the BTS a little better and the dealer said much better for resale in our area. Said he hasn't ordered a new boat with wrap around in probably about 4 years and BTS used inventory moves a lot faster, so that sealed it for me.

Sounds like I need to get a prop on order as well!

Sweet looking 24! We debated on some blue in the interior as well cause I was worried about all the grey. Wife thought it was little too flashy for her tastes, so we compromised and went with what she wanted

[mjohnsen]

Not sure why I didn't think of this last night but checked only inboards and found a pic with no walk through. Think I like the look of the walk through better, so we'll see if I have to "compromise" on this one too.

I would not get the slate grey interior, when we looked at it in person it does have a gold color to it and it is a different texture. I just picked up my new XT22 yesterday and attached is a picture of the odessa platinum and odessa flint interior, looks great. Also I am the odd one who does not like the transom walkthrough, like the open sunpad. Go with the silver speaker cans, look much nicer than black.
