2022 Blackwater Mercury V12 800

Step aboard this 2022 Blackwater powered by Mercury’s V12 800 and it’s immediately clear this isn’t a cookie‑cutter center console. The integrated steering and quietly shifting gearbox free up transom space and keep low‑speed maneuvering almost effortless, even in tight marinas. At cruise, the hull feels planted and dry, with the kind of authority you normally only feel on much larger boats. The cockpit layout favors serious anglers and weekend cruisers alike, with wide walkarounds, deep bolsters, and smart storage that keeps gear tucked away but always within reach. At the helm, the modern glass dash, digital throttles, and intuitive controls make long runs feel relaxed rather than demanding.

In busy, mixed‑use waterways, the combination of Blackwater’s offshore hull and the Mercury V12 800’s precision really shines. Shallow approaches and shifting channels are easier to handle thanks to the refined throttle response and integrated steering, letting you ease into tight slips or crowded fuel docks with confidence. When conditions kick up outside the inlet, the deep‑vee design softens the ride and keeps everyone drier and more comfortable on the run home. Long distances between marinas are less of a concern with the efficient power and extended range, while the generous deck space and secure freeboard make it equally at home chasing fish offshore or hosting a crew for sunset cruises.
