2026 Xpress H-22 BAY

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.
