Seaswirl 26: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sea Swirl Striper 2605 walkaround is a versatile 26-foot fishing and recreational boat designed with an 8.5-foot beam, which is narrower than many competitors that have expanded to 27 feet with wider beams. This design choice allows for greater access to various waterways while maintaining excellent handling and performance. The boat is available with a range of power options, including twin 150 horsepower outboards, a single 250 or 300 horsepower outboard, and even a stern drive version with diesel options, a rarity in this class.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The 2605 features a relatively high bow for its size, providing added buoyancy and a drier ride in rough conditions or challenging inlets. Its V-track hull with a 20-degree dead rise at the transom efficiently slices through waves, while chines and strakes contribute lift and spray knockdown for comfort in moderate chop. The boat is designed to handle offshore conditions, with wide and deep side decks that channel any water taken over the bow safely overboard before reaching the cockpit. The cockpit itself is spacious for a boat this size, measuring approximately 84 inches from gunnel to gunnel and 54 inches from the jump seat back to the transom, offering about 31 square feet of usable space. Bulwarks are notably high at 29 inches, enhancing safety and comfort during fishing or rough conditions. The transom includes a three-step swim ladder and a porch side door for easy boarding, along with a 30-gallon aerated live well with a high-speed pickup. Large fish boxes with macerators are located to port and starboard, with controls conveniently mounted on the gunnels near washdown connections and rod racks. Additional cockpit features include two flush-mounted rod holders on each side, optional fold-up jump seats, and a fold-away stern bench. An optional hardtop adds functionality with rocket launcher rod holders, fish lights, and dual-color cockpit lighting for night use.
Interior Living Spaces
The cabin of the Striper 2605 is efficiently designed within a length of 7 feet 11 inches fore and aft. It offers flexibility with an optional table for dining or a filler cushion for resting. To port, there is a vanity with a hand pump sink and an alcohol single burner stove mounted behind the hatch. To starboard, the standard porta-potty is installed under the bench seat, with an option for a porcelain toilet preferred by some owners. Despite the compact size, the cabin incorporates most necessities for comfort and convenience during extended outings.
Power and Performance
The 2605 tested was powered by twin Yamaha 150 horsepower outboards, though the boat is rated for engines up to 300 horsepower. It weighs approximately 4,550 pounds and carries 160 gallons of fuel, with a draft of 18 inches in the outboard configuration. Maneuverability at the dock was excellent, allowing for easy single-handed docking. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in just 3.4 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds, performance comparable to that of a bass boat. Economical cruising speed was found to be 29.2 miles per hour at 3,500 rpm, yielding a range of 456 miles on a full tank with a fuel burn of 9.2 gallons per hour. The top speed recorded was 48.1 miles per hour at 5,900 rpm, achieving 1.6 miles per gallon. Standard trim tabs and responsive hydraulic steering contribute to a balanced and enjoyable ride.
Conclusion
The Sea Swirl Striper 2605 walkaround offers a compelling package for anglers and recreational boaters seeking a capable, well-designed vessel with offshore handling characteristics. Its narrower beam enhances access to more waterways, while the hull design delivers a dry and stable ride. The boat’s spacious cockpit, practical cabin layout, and flexible power options make it suitable for a variety of uses. Notably, the 2605 is competitively priced, with an MSRP around $62,000 including a single Yamaha 225 TXR outboard, making it significantly more affordable than many other boats in the 26-foot range. Overall, the Striper 2605 represents a well-rounded, value-oriented choice in its class.
