Blackfin 222 CC

The 2026 Blackfin 222CC in sleek all-black finish, powered by the commanding Mercury 250XL outboard and riding on a custom-welded Ameritrail aluminum trailer, is the epitome of aggressive, no-nonsense offshore capability wrapped in timeless, stealthy style—perfect for Jacksonville's coastal runs, nearshore adventures, and serious Gulf Stream pursuits.

At 21'6" LOA (with swim platform) stretching to 24'6" rigged, this 8'6"-beamed center console boasts a deep-V hull with 20° deadrise and sharp forward entry for slicing through chop with confidence, delivering a dry, soft ride even when the Atlantic or St. Johns gets bumpy. The large freeboard and variable deadrise design—proven across Blackfin's lineup—provides exceptional stability at rest for fishing and a smooth, predictable handling feel underway. With a draft of just 18" engine-up (30" down), it's versatile enough for inshore hops yet built tough for blue water.

The Mercury 250XL—a reliable, high-torque 4.6L V8 Verado or comparable four-stroke powerhouse—unleashes serious performance: blistering hole shots, effortless planing, and top speeds pushing into the mid-50s mph (light load, optimal setup—many 222s with 250-300hp hit 50+ mph comfortably). It cruises efficiently in the 30-40 mph range with excellent fuel economy from Mercury's advanced EFI and digital controls, backed by quiet operation and smooth delivery that make long runs to the reefs or wrecks feel effortless. Paired with the 105-gallon fuel tank, you've got serious range for all-day offshore trolling, bottom fishing, or chasing pelagics.

That full black hull—glossy, deep, and menacing—gives this rig an intimidating, head-turning presence at the ramp or dock. The monochromatic scheme accentuates the boat's muscular lines, premium stainless hardware, and clean deck layout, creating a stealthy, modern predator vibe that's both sophisticated and intimidating. It contrasts sharply with any white accents, teak touches, or optional upholstery pops, making every detail stand out under Florida sun.

This 222CC is rigged for serious anglers: insulated fish boxes, an 18-gallon aerated livewell (with lid and light), abundant rod storage and holders, spacious bow and cockpit areas for multiple lines in the water, plus a deluxe leaning post with flip-down bolsters, molded footrests, and all-in-one cockpit table. Family and comfort features shine too—bow seating with removable cushions/backrests, swim platform with ladder, optional hardtop (often fiberglass for shade and rocket launchers), premium helm ergonomics, and room for up to 9 passengers. Add Garmin electronics, JL Audio sound, raw water washdown, and more for a turnkey offshore beast.

Towed on the custom-welded Ameritrail aluminum trailer—lightweight yet ultra-durable, with torsion axles, disc brakes, and tailored bunks/rollers for perfect fit and easy launching—this setup rolls smoothly down I-95 or to any Northeast Florida ramp, ready to hit the water fast.

Whether you're dropping live bait for kings offshore, jigging wrecks, running the Intracoastal for reds and trout, or just cruising with friends to a sandbar sunset, the 2026 Blackfin 222CC in full black with the Mercury 250XL on that custom Ameritrail trailer isn't just a boat—it's a statement: tough, fast, fish-ready, and built to dominate whatever the water throws at you.
