I don’t like the euro transoms either. Doesn’t look very nautical and, interested if anyone knows about this, looks like a following sea would be inclined to climb the transom and swamp the boat.

All three models... but the cuddy is just special.

Shamrock Pilot House had a look...


If I stuck to a new 20 footer it would be tough. Don't like the euro transoms and permanent moulded-in seating on anything. No room. Built for women.


I moved up in size to a Grady 265 Express. Motors on transom with a tailgate. Fishing machine. Of course, they don't make it anymore.
Completely agree on the Shamrock. Have always loved those boats.

never rode on one. I really liked the look but suspected they were a dog that couldn't steer or get outta their own way.

I really liked the look of a Parker too until I stepped down into a cabin.

Is it too late to change my answer? I’m gonna go with REGULATOR. doesn’t matter which one. I’ve always liked the 26 express.

Nope, Just like the looks of the pilothouse. Ditto with the Parker.

Nuclear powered aircraft carrier …..
1. Can stay at sea for years
2. Massive fishing platform
3. Can handle any weather

A bit much to trailer ….so would likely require bigger vehicle
