2022 Weldcraft 202 Rebel Hardtop

The 2022 Weldcraft 202 Rebel Hardtop is a 22-foot aluminum runabout built around a hard top design that keeps occupants dry in all weather. Powered by twin Yamaha outboards producing 184 horsepower each, the boat measures 7.67 feet across the beam and features a 14-degree transom deadrise and 30-degree bow entry deadrise to manage rough water. The reverse chine bottom provides lift for a dry, predictable ride, and the 37.5-inch sides with full-width transom create generous interior space.

The layout prioritizes open, flexible accommodation for groups. High sides maximize usable space, and the interior benefits from overhead trays for storage along with welded rails mounted to the hard top ceiling for secure handholds. An Outback outboard bracket supports the engine configuration. The cabin flows naturally into a well-open cockpit area designed for both comfort and function.

Fishing-focused equipment is extensive. The boat carries a custom 10-rocket launcher style rod holder with four net storage compartments, six BigJohn rod holders distributed as rod trees, eight Cannon rod holders, and two Cannon Optimum TS downriggers. Electronics include a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv chart plotter with transducer, a FishHawk X4D, and a 36-volt bow-mounted Garmin Kraken trolling motor. An aerated live well and raw water washdown system support fishing operations.

Additional onboard systems include a Rockford Fosgate PMX2 stereo powered by four 6.5-inch speakers and two 10-inch subwoofers, onboard charging systems for the trolling motor, and rear spreader lights for nighttime visibility.
