2004 Palmetto 22 Excursion

This 2004 Palmetto 22 Excursion is a fiberglass bay boat powered by a 2023 Suzuki DF300 four-stroke outboard with only 35 hours of operation. The engine carries Suzuki's factory warranty through October 2028 and was paired with new digital controls and gauge during the repower. The boat also features Sea Star hydraulic steering, a hydraulic jackplate, and Lenco trim tabs with LED indicators for precise control in shallow water.

The deck layout is purpose-built for fishing. A removable Bimini top provides shade, while two plumbed livewells with a sea chest system keep bait and catch fresh. Storage options include in-floor cockpit lockers, rod storage at the leaning post, eight vertical console rod holders (four per side), and three rod and cup holders at the bow. A swim platform with ladder and raw water washdown system (pump replaced October 2025) round out the working features. The boat rides on Sea-Dek marine flooring throughout and sits on a tilting helm seat.

Electronics include a Garmin 94sv 9" GPS chartplotter with transom transducer and a 2020 MinnKota i-Pilot Terrova 24V trolling motor with 80 pounds of thrust and a 60-inch shaft, mounted on a quick-release bracket. Power comes from a 3-bank onboard battery charger with all batteries renewed in October 2025, including dedicated deep-cycle trolling motor batteries.

The hull is finished in blue gelcoat sides with white bottom, and the entire boat was detailed in November 2025. Fresh engine service was completed in October 2025. The boat sits on a private residential lift in Clearwater Beach.
