I've bought another X22 this week, this one is a 2001. I've previously posted questions about a 2000 X22, that I've sold to a friend at work who is our toyota tech. A couple noticeable differences in the boats that I need to ask you guys about. Both boats have the soft ballast system in the trunk, they're pretty much identicle exept for the factory tower speaker system. I've had the packing replaced on the 00 model and am about to do the same on the 01, they both had a small leak.
I've never used the ballast system on either boat, so I have no idea how either one of them work. Both boats have 2 holes on the starboard side rear of the boat. On the 2000 model, I never noticed water coming out of these. The bilge is in the battery compartment and is emptied midway on starboard side. On this 2001 model, today after we got the engine rpm issue worked out, i took the boat out for about 10 minutes and when pulling back to the dock, i noticed water shooting out of both of these holes. What are they supposed to be draining? is there another bilge pump in the rear?
Also, I never had any water exit the rear drain plug when i removed it on the 2000 model. When I removed the plug today on the 01 model it poured for a few minutes.. Even more confusing, after I trailered the boat, drove about 12 miles home and parked the boat. Water started pouring, alot of water, out of the ballast intake thats under the boat. The intake lever is showing thats it's closed and the bag has been empty. Where is that much water coming from? I noticed a difference when i got out of the boat at the docks that the swim platform was actually a few inches under water, the 2000 always sit about the water.
hopefully i didn't confuse you guys too much.
