The 2026 Shoalwater 23 Cat is a catamaran hull bay boat powered by a Yamaha VF250LB (SHO) outboard engine. Built in fiberglass, the hull is designed for stability and shallow-water access, with a wide beam and shallow draft suited to flats fishing and coastal operation. The boat rides dry and handles well in varied conditions.
The deck layout is open and spacious, purpose-built for fishing with room to move and work. The helm features dual seating with slides, hydraulic steering, and a switch panel for engine and systems control. A 15-inch raised platform provides good sightlines, and dual live wells with Pro Air systems support serious angling.
Equipment includes a 61-gallon fuel cell, Lenco trim tabs for attitude control, a Bob's jack plate for engine positioning, and a hybrid hardtop cap. The boat comes on a blackout trailer with an 18-inch wheel package and spare tire. Other appointments include a premium tall grab rail and standard hardware for a working boat.
