2017 ShearWater 27 Carolina

The 2017 ShearWater 27 Carolina is a center console sportfish built on a modified V-hull with Carolina flare—a design that delivers stable, dry rides in choppy conditions. Powered by three Yamaha outboards generating 600 horsepower, the boat reaches speeds exceeding 70 mph and cruises efficiently at around 30 knots. At just under 27 feet long with an 8-foot-7-inch beam and draft of roughly one foot, it handles shallow water easily while maintaining excellent offshore capability.

The open center console layout prioritizes fishing and family use. The design features expansive casting platforms and unobstructed fore and aft decks for movement, with comfortable seating throughout including flip-up options in the cockpit and forward seating on the bow. A customizable crew bench setup adapts to different preferences. Multiple live wells, fishing lockers, and rod storage support serious angling.

Navigation and electronics include custom dash panels, dual multi-function displays, and dual VHF radios with aircraft-style switches. The boat carries premium amenities: a high-end stereo system, misting system for hot days, strategic lighting, and quality finishes throughout. Large fuel tanks support extended cruising, and dual washdown systems aid maintenance after saltwater use.
