• Status: Used (As-Is)

• Price: $10,000

Overview

If you are looking for a heavy, stable, big-water fishing platform that is built to troll all day long, this 22′ Sportfish Center Console is a rare find. Featuring a rugged, solid fiberglass hull, this classic rig offers a unique layout that modern outboards simply cannot match: a completely open transom and a low center of gravity.

Powered by a dependable Inboard/Outboard (I/O) stern drive, this boat handles rough water with a smooth, planted ride. Even better, it comes fully equipped with a dedicated 8HP kicker motor mounted on the transom—saving hours on your main engine, burning pennies on the dollar while trolling, and giving you ultimate peace of mind on big water.

Key Features & Fishing Advantages

⚓ The Advantages of an I/O Center Console

Unlike modern center consoles with massive outboards blocking your stern, the $I/O$ engine box on this Sportfish sits low and clean.

• 360-Degree Fishability: Clear, unobstructed room across the entire transom. No bulky outboard cowlings or rigging tubes to wrap your fishing lines around when fighting a fish past the stern.

• Planted Ride: The inboard engine block puts the weight low in the center of the hull, cutting through heavy chop far better than lighter, modern composite boats.

🎣 Trolling-Ready: 8HP Kicker Motor Included

The auxiliary 8HP kicker motor transforms this rig into a dedicated trolling machine.

• Save Engine Hours: Drop down to the perfect trolling speed for walleye, trout, or salmon without putting unnecessary low-idle hours on your main engine.

• Safety First: Serves as a completely independent backup “get home” motor for long runs offshore.

🌊 Classic Fiberglass Hull

Built during an era when fiberglass hulls were laid thick and built to last, this Sportfish is a rock-solid platform. It features a spacious deck layout, a protective center console helm, and plenty of storage for coolers, rods, and gear.
