BULLET 22SF

Bass and inland fishermen have been familiar with the performance and design features of Bullet Boats for several decades.

Now, Bullet Boats has made the decision to offer that same performance — along with purposeful yet stylish design — to fishermen who prefer to ply their trade in inshore saltwater with their introduction of the 22SF saltwater flats boat market.

With 32 years of experience building top-performing bass boats, it’s not quite right to call the 22SF a first model, but it is the first Bullet Boat made specifically for the inshore saltwater/flats/redfish market.

The 22SF takes the design, detail, and fit and finish for which Bullet is known and brings it to inshore saltwater fishermen. The hull design is adapted from Bullet’s long-proven 21-foot, 10-inch bass boat line that is known for performance, handling rough water, top-end speed and fuel economy.

The lines and styling of the 22SF bring a new look to the flats boat market. Bullet has blended the sleek, stylish lines of their bass boat with decks, cockpit and storage that rival anything available for flats fishermen.

During the design phase, the company contacted prominent inshore saltwater fishermen and redfish tournament anglers to learn what they would like to see in a flats boat. Most of that list was incorporated into the 22SF.

The 22SF will be durable and able to withstand longs runs in choppy coastal waters, as it is built with the same 100-percent hand-laid, quality craftsmanship, including sections of strategically placed Kevlar that Bullet Boats have featured for their 32 years.

This is a boat that won’t let fishermen down. In the hands of experienced tournament anglers, the combination of fishing features, top-quality construction, a 200-mile range at a cruising speed and eye-watering top speed will prove to be a sizeable advantage.

The 22SF is not only a well-designed, tough and outstanding performer: It will turn heads, too. Bullet set out not to build an average flats boat, but to build a high-quality craft that brings superior performance, outstanding function and exceptional style to inshore saltwater flats fishermen.

The Bullet 22SF hits the bull’s-eye of that target.
