2012 Century 2200 CC

Step aboard this 2200 CC and you feel right away that it’s set up by someone who actually fishes and cruises, not just spec’d a brochure. The wide, uncluttered bow gives you a solid casting platform, but it’s just as comfortable to stretch out on for a lazy afternoon at anchor. The helm layout leaves good sightlines all around the boat, so threading through tight moorings or running an inlet feels controlled and predictable. Coamings are at a confidence-inspiring height, and the nonskid is exactly where you want it. Storage is generous and sensibly divided, with room to keep gear rigged and ready instead of buried in a jumble.

This 2200 CC is an ideal match for local waters where conditions can shift from glassy calm to short, choppy seas in a single tide cycle. The hull has enough deadrise to soften the ride when the afternoon breeze kicks up, while the length and beam keep the boat nimble around shoals, markers, and crowded channels. It’s small enough to trailer to your favorite launch ramps, yet big enough to run outside on the better days. With its open deck plan and straightforward systems, it’s equally at home working inshore structure, hopping between nearby harbors, or sneaking into shallow coves for a swim.
