This 2023 ShearWater 260 SS Carolina is a 26-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull with an 8.5-foot beam. It delivers the shallow-water access and maneuverability of a flats boat while maintaining the offshore capability and ride quality of a larger platform. The single Mercury 400 V10 Verado provides strong, reliable power with smooth delivery across varied conditions.
The boat features a hydraulic jack plate, stainless steel propeller, recessed Lenco trim tabs, and power steering with tilt helm. These components work together to optimize performance in both shallow and deeper waters. The two-tone hull finish in Cool Gray and Storm Gray creates a modern, understated appearance.
The center console layout balances fishing and cruising functionality. The shallow draft and responsive handling make it well-suited for operation around sandbars, beaches, and protected areas, while the hull design carries comfort offshore. The Mercury engine carries a Platinum Warranty through April 2028.
The boat arrives comprehensively equipped with premium electronics, audio systems, lighting, comfort upgrades, and tournament-focused features.
