There is no question that a shamrock is a decent very well built boat and I really like their look but in my humble opinion they would sell a lot more if they were outboard powered for lots of reasons, space being a very big concern if the boat is used for fishing . Another good example is albemarle. I had a beautiful Tuna Tower 27 with twin 350 chevy's ( lots of expensive maintenance)and the duro-props . Talk about an *** heavy boat and the engines took up a lot of permanent fishing space, hard to get to etc. A friend of mine has a Carolina classic 28 with twin 350 inboards. Another great boat until you get 4 guys stumbling around motor boxes in rough seas and cant trim it up when you have a low tide with heavy winds trying to get back in to the slip etc. I think the reason Grady white and Parker run almost all outboards is for those reasons.I am not as gifted as most on this board regarding motors etc and thats why the idea of just four bolts to take everything off appeals to me. On the other hand from 30 foot up its a different ball game ... Frank
