I was wondering, does anyone know if a stern rail from a 24, 25, or 26 would fit my 22? Are they approx the same width?

Oh and today I installed a new battery, an inverter, and a solar panel. I would love to mount the panel on a rail so it's not in the way.

Skysail,

Awsome :!: :!:

Looks like it could be on the floor of a boat show :wink:

I did this to a Catalina 22, some years ago. I can appreciate all the work and labor involved...... and skill, btw :wink:
Great job :!:

Best Breezes,

I'm not sure if the pulpit from a 25 would fit. If you have a V-222 you have the cutout for the engine well. The dimensions on V-25 are as follows. Width between forward stanchions 5'6" +/-. Width between stern stanchions 3' +/-. Distance between stern and forward stanchions 2' +/-. Height 18". Hope this helps. Having owned a V-222 I suspect that it might be too wide??? Perhaps Catalina 22 might fit??? Check with Bluewater Yachts in Seattle. Good Luck. Fair Winds and Full Sails....
