Atlantic 21 single 200 hp merc.

Quite a heavy set up wit seating and console used went like a dream. 44.9 knots

[Mcd22]

The A22 is an excellent boat to fly as well. Usually always makes a soft landing. Granted I have had the odd flight where I have had time to think about how high I actually was!


It was also great fun to get passed by a jetski and then just throttle up and cruise past it and wave....

I imagine a single 200hp would be just about adequate. Two of them must be... startling.

I think Martini's is an Arctic 27...Hell of a Build!...But I wouldn't want his Fuel Bill!

Thats quick i could only get about 56-57 out of that boat before it went to Poole! must have had to much fuel in it!!

We didn't get that speed out of it for long. The boat soon slowed down we couldn't understand why. Might be down to ingress into the hull, tired engines more fuel etc etc We averaged around 50/55knts.
We often had the PAC 28 waft pass in large sea's. That thing can do max speed in almost any sea

Rob artic 22 twin 200 no stainless fuel tanks and 12mm deck single console 2 x jockeys gota hit 60+ + knots surely

[benjytaylor]

We are on about the Arctic 24 edd. Different beast all together than the Artic 22. When they swapped the twin Suzuki 140's for optishite 115's on the A22, that was disappointing

115 are not good then. Nearly went that route , waiting feed back for rob to see if am over powering it or not

Lol is there such a thing

Arctic 28 - 46 knots is the most I've had but she's propped for economy??

2.7-2.9 litres per nautical mile at 30 knots

Make me an offer

Twin 115's on a 6.4 RC ain't overpowered by a long chalk, I'd have thought the Arctic would be waay heavier & would be better with at least 2x150 (Etecs)

[Will75]

Good choice, we have 2 x 150 ETECs on our A22, boat is phenomenal. Had to increase transom height though as I wanted icon controls and these aren't available on the right length.

[GordyP]

Mine had twin 115s originally, would do about 42 kts flat out. When I re powered I phoned vthalmatic, at the time I could get Etec 150s or 175s for the same money, guy at halmatic commented that he thought 150s would be 'plenty'.

Boat will do 48 kts flat out, they cruise so comfortably at 30-35 kts though.

[benjytaylor]

Not a bad engine as such ed. I guess we had lots of electrical issues and the engines were just simply sluggish compared to the good old suz 140 efi's screaming at the rear.
They soon got the reputation of being optishite. We also replaced all suz 140 for the 115opti's on all mk1 rigid radars which brings tears to any landing craftsman

Hi there,
I am trying to determine origins of what I think is an Atlantic 21.
Still a bit puzzled though.
There is reference in this thread that Atlantics have glue on tubes and that if its orange it also Atlantic (grey being an Arctic)
So mine is orange and always was but have bolt on/rope/alu strip to fix tubes to hull.
Is it possible its an Arctic.
Also I have seen slight difference in hull moulding, in that Atlantic has chines running from fore all the way along the hull and Arctic may not.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

I may be wrong on this - but I don't think the colour is 100% the indicator. Its a very good clue, because the vast majority of Arctic's were for military use and so in the inevitable grey, but a few went into non-defence use - I seem to recall places like UK gov research vessels, which were more conventionally orange coloured.

Post some pics - someone here will be able to confirm.

[GuyC]

I'd have a hunt around the transom to see if there is a maker's mark. The Pac 22's have one moulded into the transom. It might be that pictures of A21's were captioned as A22's and vice versa but images from Google don't seem to be conclusive.

As Poly has suggested, I'd post some pictures particularly of the hull, spray rails, transom etc.

[boatman13]

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can tell me how the bolts that are used to to fit the console to the deck on an Atlantic or an arctic are secured.
Also the Alu plate on the transom has bolts too.
Are there nuts glassed in to the stringers underneath.
Thanks in advance
