The one boat I have seen that I would really want is the Shamrock 26 ft cuddy, I think it was 26, might have been a 28. Has a full keel that runs to rear with a drive shaft straight off the engine which is mid mounted. They also have that engine as a diesel option. Prop is completely protected and talking to a fellow that has the center console version with the small cuddy in the front he has had several different boats and has never ridden in any boat that handled all sea conditions as well as it and rode as smooth as that center engine arrangement unless he was in a much bigger boat. So he went into debt and bought it a couple of years ago. I didn't like the fish box arrangement but thought it was the all around best smaller boat lay out I have ever seen.
