2026 CAYMAS DV 22 300 XL VERADO

Elevate your angling experience with the 2025 Caymas DV 22, a premier multi-species vessel designed to conquer the most demanding freshwater environments. This twenty-two-foot engineering marvel features a wide 102-inch beam, offering exceptional stability and unrivaled deck space for serious tournament fishing. Powered by the reliable and potent Mercury 300XL Verado in Black, this boat delivers the perfect blend of fuel efficiency and hole-shot power, ensuring you reach your waypoints with confidence. With a substantial 61-gallon fuel capacity and an approximate dry weight of 3,000 pounds, the DV 22 is built to handle big water while providing a smooth, dry ride.

The exterior of this specific unit is a breathtaking example of custom craftsmanship, featuring Color Package 9 which utilizes a sophisticated Pewter Flake for the main deck and hull sections. This metallic gray base is dramatically offset by Deepwater Blue accents on the deck and hull, creating a commanding presence on the water. To further enhance the visual depth, the pin stripes are finished in a rich Dark Sapphire Flake, adding a layer of elegance to the profile.

Below the waterline, the boat features a Dove Gray bottom that complements the upper hull colors, while the hull insert continues the Deepwater Blue theme. This cohesive design is tied together with Dark Sapphire Flake pins on the hull insert, ensuring that the boat looks as good on the trailer as it does running across the lake. The attention to detail extends to the trailer itself, which sports a custom pinstripe in Pewter to perfectly match the boat’s primary color.

Stepping inside, the interior offers a modern and durable finish, with the standard carpet replaced by a premium AquaTraction system in the Storm colorway on both the front and rear decks. This high-performance flooring covers the aluminum lids and cockpit flooring, offering superior grip and stain resistance. The upholstery is finished in Light Gray with Gear Gray accents, providing a cool, comfortable seating area that resists fading under the sun.

For the performance-minded captain, this DV 22 comes equipped with a Bob's 4-inch Hydraulic Jack Plate upgrade, complete with a gauge and dual lever paddle trim at the helm for precise engine height adjustments. While this unit does not include a kicker motor, it is pre-rigged with a Static Panther kicker bracket, allowing for easy future installation of a secondary engine. The helm also features a custom steering wheel and a tilt steering mechanism for ergonomic driving comfort.

Power management is a critical component of this build, featuring a comprehensive House Battery package that includes an AGM house battery, an ACR, a parallel switch, and Minn Kota chargers for both the cranking and trolling motor batteries. To ensure your electronics run without interference, a SeaClear wiring harness has been installed, providing a dedicated 10-gauge clean power source. A wireless phone charger is conveniently located at the helm to keep your mobile devices powered throughout the day.

This vessel is ready for a versatile electronics setup, featuring both a Lowrance transducer and a Humminbird transducer mounted in the hull. This dual-transducer configuration offers the flexibility to choose your preferred brand of fish finders without needing complex aftermarket installations. The boat also includes a Bluetooth stereo system with two speakers, allowing you to enjoy your favorite playlists while on the water.

Fishing utility is maximized with the inclusion of an Oxygen Innovations livewell system, which works in tandem with the standard high-capacity 50-gallon rear livewell to keep your catch in tournament-winning condition. The livewell system includes a divider, recirculation pumps, and a pump-out feature, all managed by a livewell timer. A removable backrest and cushion for the top of the livewell provide extra comfort for passengers when the fishing slows down.

To keep the deck organized and clean, this unit features a raw water washdown system, making it easy to rinse away slime and debris after a successful catch. The rear deck is equipped with five rod holders, perfect for trolling or storing rods while running to the next spot. Additionally, the boat features a center bow rod box equipped with a tackle organizing system to ensure your gear remains sorted and ready for action.

The seating configuration is designed for versatility, featuring custom suspension driver and passenger folding seats with adjustable slides. For additional passenger capacity, this boat includes port and starboard rear jump seats, which can be folded down when not in use to maximize casting deck space. Up front, a bike seat with a pro pole provides a stable and comfortable perch for operating the trolling motor.

Family and recreational features have not been overlooked, with a ski-tow pylon assembly included for watersports enthusiasts. Safety and ease of boarding are enhanced by a custom stainless steel transom-mount swim ladder, replacing the standard ladder for a more robust entry point. Furthermore, a bow entry step ladder has been added, making it safe and simple to board the boat directly from the trailer tongue.

Safety on the water is paramount, and this DV 22 is equipped with upgraded 48-inch rear handrails, replacing the standard 36-inch rails for added security in rough water. Front handrails have also been installed to provide secure grip points for passengers in the bow. The boat features a walk-through tempered glass windshield that offers excellent protection from wind and spray.

To ensure your gear stays dry and mildew-free, an air circulation system has been installed to ventilate the storage compartments. The boat also features a trolling motor foot pedal recess with a carpeted cover board, keeping the deck flush and preventing tripping hazards. A custom boat cover is included to protect your investment from the elements when not in use.

The hull construction of the Caymas DV 22 is legendary, utilizing a 100% composite build with no wood to rot or degrade over time. The zero-flex fully foamed and bonded stringer system creates a rigid, unified structure that absorbs shock and vibration. A high-performance resin and barrier coat ensure the gelcoat retains its luster for years to come.

Storage is abundant, with oversized locking storage boxes and specific rod storage for rods up to 10 feet in the center box, 8 feet 4 inches in the port box, and 6 feet 9 inches in the starboard box. The lids are equipped with pistons for smooth operation, and the compartments are illuminated with LED lights for early morning rigging. A keel protection strip has been applied to the hull to guard against abrasion when beaching.

The trailer is a custom-fitted tandem axle model featuring dual disc brakes for reliable stopping power. It rolls on custom 14-inch aluminum wheels with radial tires and includes a matching spare. The frame is a 5-inch channel construction with a swing tongue for garage storage, and it is finished with a Rock Guard polyurea coating for superior chip resistance.
