BULLS BAY 2200

If you enjoy fishing coastal waters and are looking for a boat that can do it well without depleting your bank account, the Bulls Bay 2200 is the perfect solution.

A design profile that has been proved time and again over the years, the beamy hull and 15 degrees of dead rise combine to make this a boat that can prowl the big bays and edges of the big water for tarpon, king mackerel and more — yet still slip into the shallows to chase redfish, specks and other species that prefer their water skinny.

The Bulls Bay 2200 offers a spacious, open fishing layout that includes forward and aft casting decks. There is also a lot of room to stow gear, with 281 quarts of lockable, storage, rod lockers and fish boxes.

Carrying bait and/or keeping the catch healthy for weigh-in isn’t an issue, either, with two baitwells/livewells.

A trolling motor isn’t included, but the 2200 is prewired with a waterproof plug so the trolling motor of your choice can easily be added.

Otherwise, the 2200 comes complete with everything needed to be a serious fishing machine at a surprising price. There are options available to improve creature comfort and add a few frills, but the 2200 comes well outfitted as it rolls out the door.

This is a boat that should fit the family budget and get aspiring fishermen introduced to the sport while still having the right fishing features to satisfy old salts, as well.
