The 2026 BlackJack 224 is a 22-foot center console powered by a single Mercury Verado 300 XL V8 engine. Built from fiberglass with a hand-laid hull and deck, the boat features a Carolina flare bow design and tumblehome transom with reverse-angle chines for spray reduction. The hull is ivory with a black stripe, complemented by an ivory console, deck, and diamond-stitch upholstery.
The console area includes a tilt helm with integrated Mercury power steering, Vessel View gauges, and a deluxe leaning post with backrest, rod holders, folding footrest, and storage. The boat accommodates a removable aft bench seat and features two livewells, a 70-gallon fuel tank, and a K2 cooler. A boarding ladder and Lenco trim tabs round out the core equipment.
Mechanical upgrades include a Bob's Extreme hydraulic jack plate for shallow-water operation. All aluminum hardware receives black powdercoat finish. The boat comes with a McClain tandem-axle aluminum trailer fitted with torsion axles, spare tire, aluminum wheels, upgraded crossmember fender brace, and LED lights.
