2022 2022 223 DC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the dual console layout keeps everyone happy: a protected, comfortable ride up front and a social, open cockpit aft. The helm is thoughtfully arranged so you can run the boat confidently while still staying part of the conversation. High freeboard and secure railings give kids and guests a reassuring sense of security underway. Forward, the bow lounges are wide enough to really stretch out, and the aft seating converts quickly from cruising to a more open fishing platform. Clever touches—like dedicated cooler space and easy access to batteries and breakers—make ownership simpler. The hull’s footprint makes trailering and storage manageable, while still feeling like a “big boat” on choppy days.

In these waters, you need a hull that can soften afternoon chop yet still float comfortably in the shallows near sandbars and island edges. The 223 DC’s size and deadrise hit that sweet spot: substantial enough for running open bays and coastal stretches, but not so large that docking in tight slips or busy ramps becomes stressful. The dual console and generous seating work perfectly for mixed crews—some focused on cruising and swimming, others eager to wet a line along mangrove shorelines or near passes. Shade coverage and an open deck plan make long, sun-soaked days more enjoyable, whether you’re hopping waterfront restaurants or lingering at your favorite anchorage.
