1990 Larson Hampton Cuddy 22

The 22-foot Hampton Cuddy from Larson hits a sweet spot between sporty runabout and practical weekender. That compact cuddy cabin gives you dry storage for gear and a sheltered place to duck out of the sun or stay overnight, without the bulk of a full cruiser. You get a wide, open cockpit that’s easy to move around in, with plenty of room for friends, coolers, and water toys. The hull design from this era is known for a solid, confident ride, with enough deadrise to soften chop yet still pop onto plane quickly. It’s a size that’s simple to trailer, launch, and store, so you’re not tied to one marina or ramp schedule.

A 22-foot cuddy like this Hampton shines in local waters where conditions can change from calm inshore stretches to breezier open reaches in a single outing. The enclosed bow space lets you stash extra layers, safety gear, and overnight bags, making spontaneous weekend runs easy. Its moderate length is ideal for navigating narrow channels, busy harbor entrances, and crowded ramps, yet still feels secure when the afternoon breeze kicks up a short chop. Trailer-friendly dimensions mean you can explore different ramps and shorelines without needing a permanent slip, and the blend of cockpit space and shelter suits everything from day cruising and pulling tow toys to relaxed sunset runs.
