That is one sweet ride. How do you like the diesel? I had a friend that wanted to buy my 20' open and I thought I'd like to move up and get a Stalker but he backed out so now I just dream.

If mine was gone I'd be giving you a call, Good luck !

[makomagic]

FE:
Thanks. The diesel is GREAT! Don't think we could ever go back to the petrol. With the gas prices being what they are, it brings a smile to your face when you pull up to the diesel pump, even though that only occurs every few weeks - not every few days! Also, with the higher torgue, she eats up whatever we throw at her. This boat was made fot the NE waters. Dreams come true - drop a line if things change. We too are looking to move up. Good luck and tight lines!

Mako,

I found your original post and it looks good with alot to offer. Quick question is it a pocket drive or keel?? Been working on the mate to upgrade. Where are you in Conn ??

Dave

[Mistress]

Those are all keel drives.

[Fire Escape]

Mako,

Am I wrong or are you located in Conn. ??? Have you transported your boat with the tower on it ?? Any Idea what the clearance is on a trailer??

Dave

Fire Escape,

Located in Branford, CT. Give me a call on my cell should you like to discuss further. (203)444-1733

Even, if you want to just take a look...I'll buy the buds!!! Mike

Mike,

AHHHH the Thimble Islands! I have a good friend and co worker who's family owns one of those small islands. I've been there a few times, it's a great area. I pass by there on my way to the Vineyard on 95 North. I use your exit as a test on my trip time, if I'm at your exit in 2 hours I'm doing good.

I would love to buy your boat but the tower is the issue. I have to trailer any boat I own to and from each trip. Dock space is very limited on Martha's Vineyard so prices are extreamly high and Moorings are next to impossible to get. There is a 10 year waiting list that never moves.

I've been trying but no luck so far. I know putting a 26' in and out each trip will be somewhat of a PIA but I really have little choice at this point because although there is great fishing all around MV I would like to go off shore a little and the 20' with a small tank (37 gallons) just doen't make me feel comfortable. A diesel 26" is the ticket for sure!! I have 5 grown children and the whole family is with us they all want to go on the boat. The 20' open just doesn't fit the bill any longer.

I may give you a call next time up I'd love to see it and meet you. Best of luck.

Dave

Still looking to sell this rig! This is a great boat with few hours. I would like to upgrade to a Blackfin, but can't do it until I find a buyer. If any of your family members, marina/fishing buddies or friends are looking to buy a serious fishing machine, have them call me @ 203-444-1733.

[Hutch]

Mike - I really like your boat, would like to talk to you about it. I just sent you a PM.

Thanks,
Hutch

What's her cruising speed and her top speed??

[crew4]

Mike, How many gallons fuel does it hold? Is it an 8' or an 8'8'' beam. How many hours on what size engine? What is the cruise speed? Thanks, Mike

[makomagic]

This is a great boat and should be considered by someone that fishes in the Montauk/CT/RI areas. Everyone on this board raves about Shamrocks. One would think that someone on this board MIGHT know of someone that is interested in buying a CLEAN 26' Stalker??? Asking price is 35K (NOT alot of money). Gas prices are high, BUT this is a single screw diesel, which makes it a no-brainer. I want a Blackfin FB, but first must sell this boat. I certainly didn't think it would be difficult to sell a Shamrock. I must be living in a bubble!!! If anyone knows of someone with a very clean Blackfin FB that is looking to downsize, maybe they will make a trade and I can provide some additional cash. Thanks

Makomagic,

Do you have a spec sheet on the boat. I too would like to know the logistics of getting the boat to Florida with the tower. I suppose I could run her down. Could you send me any and all info available.

Too bad the boat isn't in Puerto Rico. I would sell mine and buy this one.

Wanna trade for a 20' Predator? I'm outta Westbrook. I'd love to see it.

[makomagic]

Westbrook... nice town. Come on down and take a look. Let me know what works for you. Mike

[makomagic]

clean the dust off of those bennies...this boat is turn-key. [/b]

[Spooled]

Nice rig. Rode on Skip M's this summer and enjoyed the ride. Are those spray rails smart rails?

Mine hasnt sold yet but will keep yours in mind.

[cgmiller]

Makoman,

I just emailed you some scanned copies of the Shamrock Brochure for the 260 Stalker. I sent you a jpeg file and a PDF file. Good Luck!

[makomagic]

Yes, they are smartrails. Chris thanks for sending those scanned photos, but I did not get them. Can you resend? Thanks - Mike

[cgmiller]

Makomagic,

I tried to PM you the pictures but I don't know if they attached. Shoot me an email to chrismi105@comcast.net so that I can send you them over..or privide your email address.

[makomagic]

Did someone say they are looking for a 26' Stalker??? The boat is in CT and clean. I'm thinking....about advertising it on the internet. What are some of the better sites for moving a boat like this. I have been told that this is a great boat for someone from either Florida or Long Island. I'll try advertising it on the net....and if that does not work...I'll contact a broker. Thanks for all of your input - Mike

[cgmiller]

good boat selling sites are www.boats.com. www.boattraderonline.com, www.thehulltruth.net and www.thebassbarn.com. The last 2 are huge boating sites that have forums for selling stuff just like our Shamrock Site.

In additon, a auction on eBay would cost about $50 and would give you world wide advertising. Just make sure you include a RESERVE PRICE, which is the minimum that you would have to legally sell the boat if you auctioned her off. I auctioned my 24 Rampage and ended up finding a serious buyer that had not seen any of my adds that I placed elsewhere.

Good Luck!

[makomagic]

I appreciate the url's that you provided! Take care - Mike

[crhodes]

Does this diesel have a trolling valve?

[makomagic]

It's a good time to prepare for the fall run in the offshare waters of the northeast. Call Now - Mike (203)444-1733
