Hello, I am Cohen, and this is my family's boat. I do not own it, that honor goes to amazing mom, but I am the caretaker and captain. This is the third season we have had this boat, and we can't wait to get back on the water!!

So glad you found us Cohen. Beautiful 226.

Do you do any tubing, skiing, or wake boarding behind her?

And welcome aboard mate!

Beautiful boat, and a lot of engine for something that size! I bet it's a blast to drive compared to other 22' boats on the lake.

A little bit of everything, mostly skiing. We have a few friends that slalom ski, hydro-foil, and wakeboard behind her, and I have kneeboarded and attempted to ski, both on rough days which proved unsuccessful.

She is indeed! I only have F6 props on her, but someday I plan to get a set of F9s to see what the top speed is. I was told she would do 65mph+ with the right conditions!
