The 2026 Xpress H22 Bay is a 22-foot, all-welded aluminum bay boat built for versatile fishing in both freshwater and saltwater. It features Xpress's signature Hyper-Lift Hull for high performance in shallow and rough waters and is a popular option for both serious anglers and families.
Key features Hull and Construction Hyper-Lift Hull: A unique hull design with a pad on the running surface that allows the boat to achieve higher speeds and perform well in shallow water. All-welded construction: The hull and components are fully welded, not riveted, for a solid and durable structure. Foam-injected: Unibody injected foam provides a solid, quiet ride. Xtreme Coat liner: A proprietary, durable spray-on liner is applied to the interior decks and hatches for a tough, non-skid surface that stays cool.
Cockpit and deck Spacious casting decks: The H22 offers large decks for ample fishing space. The front deck is over 6 feet wide. Walkboards with cupholders: Catwalks run along the sides, allowing for easy movement between the front and rear decks. Comfortable seating: New for 2026 is redesigned saddle upholstery. The boat includes rear jump seats with insulated coolers underneath. Center console: Features a baitwell, a fold-down grab rail, a removable windshield, and a leaning post with a footrest. Tackle storage is also built into the console.
Fishing features Dual livewells: The boat includes an aerated livewell in the rear deck and another baitwell in the center console. Trolling motor: The boat comes standard with a saltwater series Minn Kota trolling motor, with options to upgrade. Rod storage: Two lockable, built-in rod boxes are included, in addition to rod holders on the center console. Electronics: Standard electronics include a multi-gauge for engine diagnostics and a Humminbird Helix 5 GPS.
