Target 22 powerboat

[Allan]

I was wondering if anyone out knows anything about a boat that was called the Target 22 or Maple Bay 22. I know its a Paul Gartside design and that a limited number of them were built by a company called Motor Boat Enterprises in Cobble Hill, B.C., Canada. So far my searching for further information as well as pictures of these boats has come up nil. If you can shed any further knowledge about these boats I would be glad to hear about it.

Two or three years ago I saw a Maple Bay inboard boat about 22-24'. Maybe 26. I know folks in Juneau Alaska that have a Maple Bay about 27' with a small Yanmar diesel. I also know folks that live in Cobble Hill BC and are boaters.

I see you had some experience with the Target 22 and wondering if you could pass along anything to a guy looking to buy one. They sure look pretty.
Thanks….Mark

Paul Gartside designs are respected but finding info on the limited production runs can be tough. Have you tried reaching out to Motor Boat Enterprises directly if they're still around? Even if the company's closed, whoever took over their records might be able to point you toward an owner or builder's notes.

Hi Tristan
Thanks for that idea, hadn’t thought about it.
Still haven’t turned up anything. People know people that have had them but not much more than that. I’m looking at one now but the broker has no information and I need to talk to the owner to get anywhere.
Thanks again.
Cheers….Mark
