Owner Experience Review
Owners choose the 222 FishermanbyWELLCRAFTfor offshore day fishing and bluewater runs, yet it also suits family day‑cruising and even coastal charter work. Its deep‑V hull with about 20° of deadrise has been described as comfortable in moderate chop and capable in big water; one owner even called it "one of the best riding 22’ boats I’ve been on." Trimmed negative, the bow settles to smooth out chop, and the hull lifts cleanly out of troughs. Hole shot is quick, and a test with a Yamaha F250 recorded about 49 mph at 6,000 rpm.
On board, the layout balances fishability and family comfort. A front‑console entry leads to an enclosed head compartment with porta‑potty access, while the generous cockpit, built‑in bait/livewell, and an overboard‑draining fishbox make the deck genuinely usable. Stowable bow seating, ample storage, stainless hardware, and practical ergonomics support long days whether you are chasing pelagics or shuttling the family to a beach.
Real‑world ownership notes point to a few items to watch. Some forum posts report rainwater or run leaks into the forward bilge/console and, in isolated cases, water trapped between deck and hull that does not drain to the bilge; owners and dealers have discussed adding or relocating bilge pumps and tracing faulty drains. Typical power is an outboard (Yamaha is common), so routine servicing is straightforward, but several owners mention that fuse labeling and console wiring may need dealer or owner attention after delivery.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V ride with about 20° deadrise handles moderate chop and offshore runs with confidence.
