22 Foot Skeeter Bay Boats For Sale

The Skeeter SX 2250, also sold as the Skeeter 22 Bay, is a 22 foot bay boat built around a fishing platform that doubles as a family boat. It carries noticeably higher sides than many bay boats, which suits an owner stepping down from a larger offshore boat without giving up a fishing layout. The hull uses five chines, three regular and two reverse, to produce the dry ride Skeeter is known for, throwing spray out to the sides rather than back into the cockpit. With the trolling motor up and the boat trimmed to sit shallow, it drafts about 12 inches. Buyers shopping 22 Skeeter bay boats for sale will find this listed as one of the brand's most popular models.

Power comes from a single Yamaha outboard, with options running from 150 up to 250 horsepower. The hull is rated for a 250 SHO, and rigged that way it runs realistically in the low to mid 50s mph when trimmed flat. A 200 Yamaha four-stroke is a common and quieter choice that still moves the boat well. Skeeter mounts the engine on a setback plate, and a hydraulic jack plate is available; one owner rig uses a 6-inch TH Marine jack plate for working shallow water. Because the 22 is a heavy boat, a 36-volt trolling motor (Minn Kota) is the recommended choice over a 24-volt unit, especially in current.

The console holds up to a 14-inch flush-mounted electronics screen and has a lipped shelf up top to keep a phone from sliding off under throttle. A backlit blue LED switch panel keeps the labels readable in bright sun, and the trim tab controls sit next to the throttle so your hand stays near the wheel. The tilt steering wheel, redesigned windshield and grab bar, stainless steel rod holders (four per side) and stainless cup holders round out the helm. Inside the console is a storage shelf above the batteries that accepts up to four batteries, with a side access door for service.

Storage and bait management are the strong points. The insulated fish box uses a fully roto-molded plastic interliner, sealed compression hatches and a stainless steel shock-absorbing ram, and drains overboard so scales and slime rinse out at the dock. The anchor locker has a roto-molded liner and holds up to 600 feet of line plus a large Danforth. A dedicated cast net hatch with a rear drain keeps wet nets separate from the dry rod and gear storage. The boat runs two live wells: a forward well at the console and a 30-gallon rear well, both fed by 800 gph pumps with recirculation, raw-water fill and an air bubbler, plus gas-shock lids with latches that won't catch the cast net. Pop-up cleats are placed one on each bow corner, two amidships and two aft.

The leaning post seat has an engineered latch and a removable backrest that exposes rocket-launcher rod holders (nine on the back), and each boat ships with an Engel roto-molded cooler as standard. New-design bow cushions convert the casting deck into a family seating and lounging area and remove just as quickly to return it to a fishing platform. The powder-coated T-top is an option and adds four blue LED lights, an electronics box and an overhead luggage rack; a swim platform and ladder are also available. Every Skeeter carries a limited lifetime hull warranty and a three-year bow-to-stern component warranty. When buying a used Skeeter bay boat, points to check include the seat upholstery, which can mildew, and the hull-side decals, where the chrome finish can peel on earlier model years.
