I've heard it said that the Chrysler 22 is the same Hull design as the 22 ft
Starwind? I've recently read that the beam on the starwind is 8'6" where
on the Chrysler it's 8' or slightly under? Does anyone have any answers
to these descrepancies whether or not its the same hull or just bad
information on the beam span ???

Sorry if I repeat something you've already seen/heard-
As I understand it, when Chrysler sold the marine divisions off ca. 1980, the sailboat molds went to Texas Marine (TMI), and after that the 20-27' molds went to a Wellcraft Marine division called Starwind.
I've only ever seen the Starwind 22 specs here and list the beam at 7'9":

If you haven't run across it yet, there's also a lot of Starwind info at:

Oddly enough, I'll be helping begin to raise a Wellcraft/Starwind that sank during a storm at our club tomorrow !
