2026 Excel 220 Bay Pro Elite

The 2026 Excel 220 Bay Pro Elite is a 22-foot aluminum bay boat built for fishing and shallow-water exploration. Its all-welded .160-inch thick aluminum hull is among the thickest in the category, delivering structural durability and a smooth, dry ride. A 14-degree pad hull with lifting strakes and reverse chines provides confident handling and higher speeds than typical bay boats of its class. The boat measures 22 feet 3 inches overall (24 feet 5 inches with engine) and has a 94-inch beam, offering generous deck space for casting and movement.

Power comes from a single 200 hp Suzuki gasoline engine paired with a 30-gallon fuel capacity. The boat accommodates up to 8 people and carries a loaded weight capability over 2,000 pounds. A forward fish box with 45-quart capacity, two livewells (20-gallon rear and 16-gallon console), and multiple rod holders serve fishing needs. Storage includes lockable under-dash compartments and dedicated gear spaces throughout the deck layout.

The console is designed around fishing and cruising priorities. The dash accommodates a 12-inch chartplotter or fishfinder, a 3-inch Bluetooth radio, extra accessory switches, and a new compact gauge set. Beneath the dash sits room for up to three 12-volt group 27 deep cycle batteries for trolling motor operation. The recessed toe kick allows easier movement around the console.

Angler-focused features include an ergonomic leaning post with rod holders and cooler mount, deluxe rear jump seats with storage, and four mooring cleats. The rugged extruded gunwale with rubber rub rail includes accessory-mounting slots for customization. The built-in livewell integrates a seat cushion and tackle center.
