2006 Sailfish 22 WA

What makes this 22 WA shine is how much big-boat thinking is packed into a truly manageable hull. Wide, secure side decks and a deep cockpit let you work a line or gaff a fish without feeling exposed, and the coaming bolsters save your knees on a long drift. The helm layout is simple and practical, with clear sightlines over the bow so you’re not craning your neck in a chop. Underfoot, in-deck fish boxes and smart storage keep the cockpit uncluttered, and the transom design leaves plenty of room to move around the motor while still giving you a solid platform for bait prep and landing fish.

This size and style is ideal for local waters that can turn from glassy to lumpy in an afternoon. The deep-V entry and solid freeboard give you confidence when an afternoon breeze kicks up, yet the boat is still easy to trailer, launch, and store at home. A compact walkaround like this lets you anchor close to shore for swimming or beach runs, then push out to deeper structure when the bite is on. The small cabin offers a dry hideout from sudden squalls and a place to stash gear, making it a practical all-rounder for the mixed conditions common in this area.
