2027 Barker Boatworks 26 Open

The Barker Boatworks 26 Open is a center console bay boat built on a V-hull with the patented Michael Peters SVVT design, engineered for stability and efficiency in offshore conditions. Powered by a single 425-horsepower Mercury engine, it reaches a top speed of 47.79 knots and cruises at 34.76 knots, delivering a smooth, controlled ride across varying sea states.

Construction uses 100% vinyl ester resin with composite-cored, vacuum-infused fiberglass throughout, providing exceptional strength and durability. The cockpit is optimized for fishing with a generous fishbox, livewell options, and abundant storage. A self-bailing deck supports extended offshore use, while the open bow layout adds seating flexibility for family outings.

Equipment and details include integrated rod storage, quality hardware, and refined finishes. The boat offers a wide range of customization options, including the ability to add a Seakeeper 1 gyro stabilization system. The 26 Open measures 26 feet in length with a 9.25-foot beam, combining offshore capability with practical comfort and build quality.
