Research 2013 - Northwest Boats - 228 Lightning

~365 DAYS IN A YEAR AND ONE BOAT THAT WILL HELP YOU ENJOY THEM ALL.

The growl of thundering inboard muscle is sure to awaken your senses as you power into your weekends in Northwest Boat's Lightning Series Inboard Jets. Built Snake River strong, the Lightning comfortably prowls the country's most demanding waters yet exudes the grace and style you'd expect from storied Northwest Boats. Beautifully finished and detailed, it's the one boat that does it all...beautifully.

At 21' and 22' respectively, the 218 and 228 offer generous dimensions so you can stretch out and load up with everything you want. Even though the Lightning comes complete from the factory there's an extensive options list that allows you to tailor your boat to your individual taste. Still, you'll appreciate the deluxe driver and passenger Captain's seats, storage bench seating, swim platform and ladder, paint choices, premium folding top/side curtains and backdrop, sub-floor storage and heater/defroster combination that are all included from the factory.
