2006 Shamrock 270 Mackinaw Cruiser
This 2006 Shamrock 270 Mackinaw is a 31-foot (LOA) inboard-powered pilothouse cruiser designed for rugged, all-weather fishing and light cruising. Featuring a modified-V hull designed with a prop pocket (or tunnel) to minimize draft and shaft angle, this design offers a stable, efficient, and rugged inboard ride with a shallower draft and features a large, open cockpit and an enclosed pilot cabin. It is a durable choice for anglers seeking protection from the changeable elements of the Monterey and San Francisco Bays, as well as colder, more northern climates.
Key Features and Design:
- Length: 31'' (LOA); actual hull length is ~ 28'' 10", but overall length is 31'', including the bow pulpit.
- Engine: Inboard (single) Yanmar 24-valve, 315HP Diesel, 50 hours (new in 2023); Bennett recessed hydraulic trim tabs; Racor fuel/water separator; fresh water cooling; Seastar hydraulic steering.
- Keel: Features a modified-V hull designed with a prop pocket (or tunnel) to minimize draft and shaft angle, rather than the "Keel Drive" signature keel found on smaller Shamrock models.

- Hull Construction: Solid fiberglass.
- Tanks: Fuel 150 gal (new in 2024); water 25 gal; holding 15 gal, hot water 6 gal.
