Shearwater
 

Jus got a 2012 shearwater x22 wondering if anyone knows if its good in ruff water gunna push it to its limit

That's some good looking boats!

No sell it.

KajunDave has the same boat. That thing is a beast! Not too bad in the rough stuff. Maybe not the best by far in rough waves but a really good boat for BL. I have the 25TE and love it. Everyone has there own opinion these days, to each his own I guess. Learn to work the trim tabs.

Thats like walking in the voting booth, closing your eyes and pushing a random button. Then opening your eyes to see if you picked the right one. Example: presidential election :smokin:

What can you compare it to? If you've been fishing in a 24triton Lts, than no it will feel like your riding in a dump truck! But if you've been riding in an 18ft flat boat then it will feel 100% better!
Just remember it is an over sized flats boat built on a pad and designed to get pretty skinny. In wich I may add its a good hull and plenty capable of running rough water given the operator knows what he or she's doing. Just be smart in your rough water voyages and the boat will take care of you!

We have a 26' with twin yammys on it. Very nice boat. Owner held nothing back. Even has misters built in to the t top.

X2.....BIG ole piece of DUNG!!

I have heard they are fast but not great in chop. But I also don't know anything about anything.


"Its Just a Ride "

Do ya home work!!!! Price VS Product......Buy a boat on looks...and a "FOOL" you are!!! JMHO!!!:eek:

Got a buddy with a LTZ and its nice, all the bells n whistles been in it in 2'ers and handled fine, like stated above use the tabs...

Perfect example^^^^^:shaking:

Capt, what does **** canning a lower unit on a 350 yammie have to do with the boat being a piece of crap!?
Just curious?

If you can afford one and DONT NEED A COSIGNER to get a boat then your opinion counts....haters gonna hate!

Bottom line....Would I spend "MY" hard earned $$$ on a Shear Water.....No way in "HELL"....Jus tryn to help......................

Shearwater was making great boats at one point. Then for numerous reasons their quality control and customer service went down hill! It would be nice to see the company regain good standings, but when you start leaving bitter taste in people's mouths that invested good money in a product, well you know the rest!
I know of a dozen extremely happy Shearwater owners, and a dozen that would never buy another for good reasons!
I'll leave it at this, there's numerous boats that will do or can what a SW is capable of, some more and some less expensive. That comes down to preference. If you can afford it and the product is worthy of the money spent then so be it!
I bought an 08 in late 07 and its been worth every penny! Damn near flawless!
I do know of others that were garbage. Just my $.02

Ive heard some stuff about electrical problems recently with shearwater. They are decent boats just not worth what they cost IMO.

Go spend ya $$ then....I spend no time in boats,,,and I'm sure the hell no sales man...It's just my humble opinion......Inch.....I know now why they call you INCH....Cause you will take every INCH, GUIDES on Big Lake will let your Potlickin *** have...."You my lil "Worm"...Is why I refuse to post reports on this sight....SHOW ME SOME 7#'s WORM.....PFFFTTTT:rolleyes:

I had it bad foe a 25 LTZ. I refurbished a 23 V Kenner and I will never get rid of it!
