Can we talk Schiada here???

[2FORCEFULL]

I'm not sure what the fascination is for me with schiadas , but I know I have always wanted to have one, and when I get one there is always a reason I can't keep it...
we need a boat to 8 people just to get to the lake with my 3 sons,... economy has them boatless so we have to (get to) haul every one in our boat...

we have to go the cheeper route to own 2 boats ..one for havasu and one for vegas...we currently have a cheetah wild cat being built with a 525 power
and a 240 hallett with 525 power...

my last schiada 22'was powered by a mild built 468, velvet drive w/4% gears...perfect ski set up... the one before 21rc had a billy dunsmore 460 twin turbo, turbo 400 trans.. that boat was cool... it put it on it's nose some where in the 90's... scared the foc out of me... learned real quick to come off the throttle that fast again...

but after riding in Andrews 21 with a wipple got me thinking schiada again...

so would you go bigger C.I., blower , turbo??

A good friend had a 22 with twin turbos in Blythe and that was a fast and beautiful boat.

Serious question that I never felt comfortable to ask before bc I didn't want to be eaten alive, what makes a Schiada so cool? Is it the build quality? Durability? Ride? Efficiency with a given power plant? It's the most discussed brand I see, just trying to get real Schiada insight.
I'm a cat guy if that helps to understand my disconnect.

I thought the title of the thread was "Can we talk Schiada's here?" Why is it every thread someone has to chime in with 10 different brand boats that are better than the one that was asked about? You guys should start your own thread to fuck up and talk about the shit boxes that you think are so great! For a river, pleasure or ski race boat the Schiada is tough to beat. Especially in a V drive! I have a 79' RC that I just finished a 3 year restoration on.

The thread is called lets talk about Schiadas . I have yet to see one comment pretaining to the original question from a Schiada owner ? Engine placement , gears ,props turbos , blowers ,

Badass and might I add that this boat is our very own "February Hotboat of the Month" Winner!!!

21 RC's are fucking hogs. If you want the real rush, get a 20SS!

How was the 21 RT with the 300xs outboard....?

Steve never drove it !! he traded it for a 16' Donzi

It was my boat that I re-rigged with the 300xs, it was so much fun to drive, fast, quiet and sipped the fuel, PhatCat has it now in Havasu and he loves it
