2003 Shearline 23 Center Console

Step aboard this Shearline 23 and the first thing that hits you is how much big‑boat presence is packed into a truly manageable platform. The cold‑molded hull gives you that solid, quiet ride and the kind of flare and sheer line that still turns heads at the fuel dock. The helm layout is clean and purposeful, with good sightlines when you’re running on the tabs in a tight inlet chop. Cockpit space is smartly used – plenty of room to work a spread or cast around the bow, yet still comfortable for family runs to the sandbar. It’s the kind of boat that feels just as at home trolling a rip as it does sipping fuel on a lazy afternoon cruise.

A Shearline 23 shines in waters where conditions can change quickly and you need a hull that reacts with confidence. The pronounced Carolina flare helps keep you dry when afternoon breeze kicks up, while the sharp entry and moderate deadrise soften the ride in tight, confused chop. Its size makes it easy to trailer to different ramps and barrier islands without committing to a larger, more demanding rig. Draft is shallow enough to poke into creeks and back bays, yet you still have the offshore DNA to slide out on the right weather window. It’s an ideal balance of inshore versatility and nearshore capability for this area.
