2026 Tidewater 220 LXF

The 2026 Tidewater 220 LXF is a 22-foot center console built on a hand-laid fiberglass hull with an 18-degree deadrise that balances ride quality and stability. The hull is foam-filled for flotation and features a fiberglass stringer system with no wood construction. Powered by a single Yamaha F200 XD engine producing up to 250 hp, the boat carries 71 gallons of fuel and accommodates up to 10 passengers. Dry weight is approximately 2,700 pounds with a shallow draft of about 14 inches.

The cockpit prioritizes fishing and family versatility with a large open layout, self-bailing design, and 26-gallon insulated livewell alongside insulated fish boxes. A raw water washdown system supports offshore work, while removable cushions allow quick conversion between fishing and cruising modes. Trim tabs with indicators aid handling, and a walk-through transom door with integrated swim ladder provide easy water access. Stainless hardware and pull-up cleats reinforce durability throughout the working deck.

Accommodations center on flexible seating: full bow seating with hinged backrests, a fixed rear bench seat, and substantial cockpit and bow bolsters. A fiberglass T-top with full glass enclosure protects the helm station, which features SeaStar hydraulic steering with a tilt mechanism and a deluxe leaning post with bolster. Wide walkways run the full length of the boat, maintaining safe passage fore and aft.

The helm integrates a compass and digital-ready gauge cluster on a premium layout with NMEA 2000 networking, leaving room for aftermarket Garmin multifunction displays or similar electronics. The powder-coated frame supports both the T-top and overall structure with corrosion resistance built in.
