You are bidding on a near mint 1989 26’ Shamrock Mackanaw Hart top Express type fishing boat. It has a Loa of almost 29 feet Shamrock Marine boats are one of the most high end, high quality made fishing boats ever made. The craftsmanship and structural integrity of this boat is mind blowing. A true offshore fishing machine with all the amenities you can ask for. The patented Keel Drive Design performs extremely well in offshore conditions and is very economical to run. Shamrock quality can easily be compared to names like Bertram, Rampage, Albemarle, Blackfin, Fountain, Contender, Pursuit and Boston Whaler. Shamrocks were hand made and hand laid by skilled craftsman using the highest quality materials. NOT LIKE the mass produced production line fishing boats like Grady White, Mako, Aquasport, Proline, Bayliner, Trophy and the like. Very few Pilot House hulls are available to choose from that have quality structural integrity besides the Shamrock, Parker s, May Craft s and Steiger s COMPLETE DESCRIPTION DRIVETRAIN - Powered by a Single Chevy V-8 350 pushing 250 horsepower. The motor starts right up and runs smooth at any rpm and pumps tons of water. The oil pressure is excellent and the motor runs cool as well. The engine is mated to a Borg Warner Velvet Drive straight inboard transmission that shifts smooth and quiet in both forward and reverse. The running gear including prop is in great condition and operates vibration free. The huge solid bronze rudder is in great shape and issue free. Extra spare prop in mint shape is also included. KEEL DRIVE - Shamrock Boats are made with their patented keel drive system. It’s a fully fiberglass encapsulated keel that completely protects the propeller, adds tremendous stability to the boat giving is a very smooth ride under offshore conditions, it increases fuel economy and adds stability by lowering side to rocking when you are shut down fishing. The bottom of the Keel is reinforced and protected with a solid ¼” built in strip of bronze that protects the keel from any scrapping and is extended to protect the propeller as well. On the bow of the boat at the water line is also protective bronze metal to add protection to the hull from any objects you may hit in the water.

At a mellow cruise of about 20 knots it burns about 5 gallons per hour and gives you about 4 Mpg. If you bring it up to a 24kt cruise you’re still getting 3 + Mpg, depending on sea conditions of course. This is unheard of fuel economy compared to most outboard and inboard outboard boats FUEL AND FUEL MANAGMENT – Factory rigged with 2 separate 50 gallon fuel tanks located on one each side center to rear mid-ship. The tanks are leak free and were factory made from Aluminum and then barrier coated to add protection from the elements. You can run on both tanks or one depending on your preference. Each tank has its own high end Racor fuel filtration system with drain bowl. There is also additional inline filtration before the fuel reaches the carburetion. SAFETY - There are also 2 fire extinguishers included with the vessel, a life throw ring, distress flags, Flares and flare gun (flares are expired and will need replacement), life jackets, etc .

There are also 2 opening porthole hatches in the cabin that are leak and issue free. CABIN - The cabin is in decent nice shape. I have brand new cushions being fabricated. The V-Berth is a very good size and with the Insert and additional Cushion it’s a huge amount of sleeping room. The headliner could use a cleaning and a little adhesive but other than that the cabin is very nice with all the teak wood... With some teak oil the cabin would look amazing. The cabin structure is all molded fiberglass including the cabin floor. BATHROOM - The bathroom is located on the left side of the cabin. It is completely enclosed for privacy. EASY ACCESS -This boat was designed for easy access to work on or maintain any and all ships systems. The engine itself can be assessed from either the forward engine hatch or a rear hatch. Transmission and packing shaft can be easily obtained. The rear rudder and steering control systems are accessed from a rear hatch. All decks are screwed down incase you ever needed to access any of the systems. There is also a built in Hose fitting so the engine can be very easily run off a hose, makes it very simple to winterize the engine with non tax and flush out the system. THROUGH HULLS PENETRATIONS- There are 5 through hulls located in the boat. The First being the water intake which has a brass pick up strainer (in mint shape corrosion free and has new zinc) The intake leads a inline manual shut off (works perfectly) then to a large southbay strainer with removable strainer and then feeds into the heat exchanger and cools the antifreeze which cools the engine in the fresh water cooling system. The Second through hull is for the salt water washdown intake which provides salt water for the live well and the salt water wash down spicket under the gunnel... This though hull contains an inline manual shut off valve that operates smoothly and properly. The Third re is a high end built in transducer which is properly installed, secured and leak free. The Fourth is where the Stainless Steel Shaft comes though the stuffing / packing box into the transmission. The stuffing box is in great shape and issue free. The Fifth is where the rudder penetrates the hull to meet the Hydraulic steering arm. This area functions properly and is issue free as well HOSES All the hoses throughout the boat are in great shape and issue free STORAGE - There is tons of storage throughout the boat.

All Shamrock hulls decks and component parts were hand-laid using rolled fiberglass materials and resin. The hull is molded in two halves and, depending on the deck and cabin configuration, an additional 15 to 20 individual molds are used to create the parts necessary for the completed vessel. This allows for removable components that provide easy access for replacement of machinery and tanks. It’s a more expensive way to build boats but the result can often save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars when repairs become necessary. When the two halves of the hull are joined, the keel is filled with a mixture of resin, sand and glass fiber resulting in a rock-solid appendage able to withstand substantial impact. The full length keel adds stability and protects the running gear. This carefully, hand crafted construction added several hundred hours of construction time to each boat Fuel tank is coated with a zinc chromate primer to help prevent corrosion from exposure to bilge water and marine quality stainless steel and bronze fittings and fastenings are used throughout. Shamrock boats are powered by direct-drive inboard engines rather than fuel burning and less efficient outboard and inboard/outdrive power options offered by other manufacturers of boats in this size range. The inboard engine is mounted near the center of the boat for better weight distribution and they are mounted lower in the hull for a lower center of gravity. This leads to greater stability and better handling characteristics such as predictable motion, good lateral and tracking stability and full-length keel that helps dampen roll whether trolling or at rest.
