224 Bay
Fishability is at its finest on the 224 Bay. Its forward deck is wide enough to accommodate two people to fish and run a trolling motor.
The 224 Bay handles rod management beautifully with six built-in stainless-steel rod holders on the center console and four additional rocket launchers off the seat. A forward console seat and two-step bow provide additional storage compartments for bait and gear.
Three folding jump seats form the aft fishing deck, which also has two pedestal bases. Flip up the seats, add a swim ladder to the transom, and you have an outstanding family boat for cruising and fun.
