2007 Stanley Pulsecraft 22 Description
-
People say, "You can't take it with you."
Well, that's a crock! If you have a
Stanley Pulsecraft, not only can you
take it with you, you can probably drive it on
board!
Over the past few years, Connor Industries,
manufacturers of the Stanley line of welded aluminum
boats, has discovered the pleasure boat
market has real enthusiasm for their industrial
designs.
A Pulsecraft has a wide range of applications
for cottage owners, particularly those with water
access. Patterned after the World War II landing
crafts, Stanley's Pulsecraft has a totally open cargo
area in the bow, accessed through a 60-inch wide
drop ramp. You can literally drop the ramp and
drive your ATV or utility trailer right on board. A
hand winch makes it easy to close the gate and
very reliable.
In terms of cargo capacity, Stanley produces
the Pulsecraft in four different models: 20, 22, 24
and 26 feet. All have the same 15-degree deadrise
V hull and an 8-foot, 4-inch beam. Cargo capacity
ranges from 1,400 pounds for the 20-foot up
to 3,800 for the 26-foot.
Your faithful boat tester should have had a
load of sand and gravel as part of the test procedure!
Since we didn't, though, we'll just have to
assume that the impressive performance figures
for this boat would translate into significant load
carrying capacity.
The 150-horse Suzuki four-stroke kept the
Pulsecraft on plane down to 3000 rpm and full
throttle acceleration was impressive, taking only
3.5 seconds to plane off and under 10 seconds to
reach top speed with no load, about half a tank
of fuel and no other passengers. The ride was soft
and handling was surefooted. The Sea Star
hydraulic steering was both light and precise. I
especially liked the high and very protective
windshield. The seats were comfortable, although
I thought they lacked the heavy-duty look that
characterizes the rest of the boat.
The helm and companion seats were
pedestal-mounted swivel buckets, while a fullwidth
aft bench seat increased seating capacity to
five plus and offered a large amount of storage
inside. The test boat had basic instrumentation,
carpeting to help deaden the sound, and there
was a Bimini top and curtains made of the same
material as the seats.
At times, the flat front ramp will connect
with a wave in rough water, making a bit of
noise, but causing no problems. The entire bow
area is self draining - rainwater runs right out.
Across the transom is a full swim platform with
boarding ladder.
Stanley makes available a wide range of
options allowing you to personalize or dress up
your Pulsecraft 22 to suit your own personal use.
The maintenance-free raw aluminum finish on
the 3?16-inch plate aluminum used throughout the
entire boat will eventually oxidize to a grey
colour, but this is probably as close to a maintenance-
free boat as you will ever find.
For those who want to haul a load of lumber
one day and tow a wakeboarder the next, a
Pulsecraft 22 with the quiet and smooth-running
Suzuki 150 might be perfect for you. This is a
boat that is almost certain to gain a real cult following
among island cottagers.
