The 2026 Alumaweld Columbia XL 26 is an aluminum fishing runabout built for serious anglers. At 25.75 feet with a 3.58-foot beam, the boat features an expanded design centered on maximizing working space and functionality. The hull uses a 90-degree reverse chine bottom with 34-inch side height and 14-degree deadrise. The aluminum construction includes increased material thickness—0.250 inches on the bottom, 0.160 inches on the sides—and a continuously welded box girder frame. The boat carries a capacity of nine persons or 1,350 pounds, with a fuel tank holding 60 gallons and maximum horsepower rating of 350.
The layout prioritizes access and storage for fishing operations. Four deluxe comfort seats sit on adjustable aluminum storage boxes. The foredeck includes an XL storage locker with a locking door, and the transom features a pro rigging compartment with two doors and SouthCo latches. A three-compartment step deck houses a rope locker, dry storage, and fish box, each with locking doors. Full-length storage trays run the cabin sides, and a removable locking depth finder box appears on both port and starboard.
Standard equipment includes a washdown pump with hose, a 2000 GPH electric bilge pump with auto switch, running and mooring lights, and four rod grippers. The 13-inch coaming gunnel features full rubber protection and wide trays. Interior surfaces use Aluma-Coat paint, while the exterior carries single-color, single-stage paint with vinyl graphics. The Armor Tech premium floorboards feature Dura Tuff non-skid vinyl covering, backed by under-floor protective coating. Six full-length strakes, weld-on cleats, and stainless steel hinges on storage lids complete the build. The boat comes with an exclusive lifetime warranty.
