What makes the new 220 CC so great? Maybe it’s the sharp forward entry, large bow flare and variable deadrise hull that makes it ride better than a lot of bigger boats. And what about the hidden rear seat with flip up backrest and battery storage underneath? Fishing features include twin 30-gallon fish boxes and a 15-gallon livewell with LED lighting positioned under the leaning post. Add removable forward bow cushions for seating or a forward sun lounge. Huge 30-gallon storage compartments are insulated and drain overboard drains for fish storage or onboard cargo. A special floor compartment is perfect for a 5-gallon bucket and a casting net. An aft bench folds away for wide open transom access while fighting fish. The starboard swim platform features a telescopic ladder that stows out of the way in its own compartment. (Manufacturer Provided Description)
EDITOR NOTES: Pop-up cleats are a nice touch. T-top has an electronics box. Most have been powered with a single 150hp Yamaha (40 mph-plus top).
