2008 Andros 26 Tarpon

The 26 Tarpon has that rare mix of skinny-water attitude and big-water confidence. The tall bow flare keeps you dry when the breeze is up, yet she still trims down nicely to sneak across the flats. Wide walkaround space and toe-kicks let you work a fish 360 degrees without feeling crowded. The helm layout leaves plenty of room for additional screens or a second unit if you like to run split duties between chart, sonar, and radar. High freeboard aft makes family trips feel secure, and the hull’s efficient entry means you can stretch that modern four-stroke’s range on long runs to your favorite spots.

In this region, you’re constantly bouncing between shallow bays, bumpy open stretches, and tight passes, and that’s where the 26 Tarpon shines. The hull rides soft enough to handle afternoon chop yet floats shallow enough to nose into creeks and backlakes. It’s the right size to trailer easily to different ramps but still has the presence to feel stable on wider sounds and nearshore reefs. Generous deck space lets you rig for both live-bait and artificial tactics in the same day, while the open layout keeps things simple when the bite turns chaotic and everyone’s moving at once.
