Futuro Boats is showing the ZX22 at Interboot 2026 with a 200hp MerCruiser petrol inboard and an aluminium hull aimed at durable day-boating use. The model measures 6.60m long and 2.00m wide, placing it between the smaller ZX20 and larger boats in the same family.
The Interboot entry lists a weight of about 1,200kg and seating for up to eight people. Importer MIZU is displaying the boat in a distinctive BMW Frozen Portimao Blue Metallic finish for the Friedrichshafen show.
Aluminium construction keeps the hull relatively light
Futuro uses aluminium throughout the ZX range to combine rigidity with lower structural weight than many comparable GRP boats. That construction is also intended to cope well with routine day-boat use and repeated launching.
The ZX22's low-profile deck includes multiple seating areas and substantial storage for a boat of this length. Buyers should inspect the actual layout because cockpit ergonomics and storage access are difficult to judge from headline dimensions alone.
200hp MerCruiser inboard distinguishes the ZX22
Unlike the smaller ZX20, the Interboot ZX22 uses a 4.5-litre MerCruiser petrol inboard producing 147kW, or about 200hp. That gives the boat a different balance of deck arrangement, servicing and propulsion characteristics from an outboard-powered dayboat.
Futuro also promotes the hull's very shallow draft as useful on inland waters and during low-water conditions. Owners should still account for the drive installation and actual operating depth before entering shallow areas.
Current show appearance rather than a new launch
The ZX22 is an established model, so Leisure Boat Guide is not presenting its Interboot appearance as a world premiere. The current news value lies in the 2026 show specification and the opportunity to compare it directly with other aluminium dayboats.
For buyers, the main decisions will be whether the inboard layout, shallow-water capability and aluminium construction suit their normal use. Dealer pricing and final equipment should be confirmed separately because show boats often carry optional finishes and equipment.
