All this economy and range doesn't come without a cost though. Repair, rebuilding and replacement cost of a diesel engine can also be significantly higher than that of a comparable gas engine. Throughout their history Shamrock has remained a relatively small boatbuilder. Total production of all models is in the range of 200 boats per year. Still, with nearly 20 years of production, there are enough boats to keep the used boat market reasonably well supplied.
Prices vary quite widely depending on age, condition and equipment.
Shamrock Boats has a reputation for building no-nonsense quality fishing boats for work or play and the 260 is an excellent example of their product. Its size is well suited to bays and tributaries as well as coastal waters. With caution, planning and good seamanship, she is even capable of venturing reasonable distances offshore in search of fish. Weather you are already an avid fisherman or you're just considering taking up the sport, the Shamrock 260 is tough to beat. The stripers are waiting.
