Description

2023 ShearWater 260 SS | Mercury 400 V10 Verado | Financing Available


This 2023 ShearWater 260 SS is a versatile, high-performance center console that blends tournament-level fishing capability with the comfort and flexibility to enjoy the Emerald Coast’s bays, beaches, and sandbars. Known for exceptional build quality and thoughtful design, the 260 SS delivers a soft, confident ride offshore while maintaining shallow water access for flats and island hopping.


Powered by a Mercury 400 V10 Verado with Platinum Warranty coverage through April 2028, this boat offers outstanding reliability, smooth power delivery, and strong performance across a wide range of conditions. Featuring a hydraulic jack plate, stainless prop, recessed Lenco trim tabs, and tilt helm power steering for a well-balanced performance package.


Finished in a two-tone Cool Gray and Storm Gray hull, this boat presents a modern, clean, and understated look. The layout is equally suited for fishing hard in the morning and cruising comfortably with family and friends in the afternoon. Shallow draft and excellent maneuverability make pulling up to beaches or anchoring at Crab Island simple and stress-free.

The boat is exceptionally well equipped with premium electronics, audio, lighting, comfort, and tournament upgrades, making it a true turnkey option.
