Welcome Shamrock owners, potential owners & those just curious to find out more about vessels under 30 feet with straight inboards. This is the only place to find a wealth of information on the Shamrock single inboard boats from the owners themselves, and who better to ask than the one behind the wheel?

I used to fish commercially, and doing so showed me how versatile, inexpensive & reliable it could be to own a boat if it had a straight inboard engine. Outboards have their place, just not in THIS place! I was searching for a boat that I could feel very comfortable taking my family offshore with, and be able to relax. I looked at many vessels, all the time hoping to find one with a straight inboard that I could afford that wasn't a custom wood boat. I stumbled across the Shamrock line, & I am currently on my 2nd one. Simply put: Nice boat. No gas guzzler, no oil to mix, stable platform, pulls skiiers and raises fish.

What more could you ask for?

My name is Gavin Sneed & I live in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC. I am an offshore junkie, and you can usually find me down in Hatteras chasing whatever is running. Please do post your comments & share your stories. We would all like to hear them. We are quite the friendly crowd here, and we are all willing to help/share information. That's the principal of this board, is to help each other enjoy what we consider to be the vessel that is truly the smarter choice in a practical, long term love affair on the water. Stick around, and do post your opinions/responses.
