The 2026 Shoalwater 23 Cat is a 23-foot catamaran-style bay boat built for shallow-water fishing and recreational cruising. Its 8-foot-8-inch beam delivers stability across flats and open water, while the single 250-horsepower gasoline engine provides the power needed for responsive performance.
The boat features a stainless steel console with integrated livewells—one forward and one aft—both equipped with pump systems and overflow pipes to keep bait and catch fresh. A hybrid hardtop with flush lids shelters the helm, and hydraulic tilt steering with a tall bimini bar offers comfortable control. Storage compartments sit at the bow and stern, while the helm position includes a bucket seat with slides for adjustment.
Trim and handling are managed through Lenco trim tabs and a Bob's hydraulic jackplate, allowing navigation in tight spots and precise depth control. The hull is finished in light grey and seafoam, and the boat carries a 61-gallon fuel cell for extended range. Equipment includes remote engine fill, battery switch, and a Pro Air ventilation system.
The boat comes with an aluminum trailer fitted with custom aluminum wheels for towing and storage.
