2009 Seaswirl Striper 2601 Walkaround O/B

Step aboard and you’ll notice how beamy and secure this 26-footer feels, with high gunwales and a deep cockpit that keeps crew comfortable when the chop builds. The roomy walkaround is easy to navigate in foul weather gear, giving you safe access forward to handle anchoring or casting. Below, the compact cabin offers a proper berth, marine head, and space to duck out of the wind between bites. The Striper’s hull is known for a solid, confident ride and a dry bow entry, so early spring and late fall runs are well within reach. Thoughtful touches like abundant rod storage, fish boxes, and easy-clean non-skid decks make long days on the water simpler and more enjoyable.

Waters here demand a hull that can handle quick weather changes, steep chop, and cold-season runs, and the Striper 2601 is built for exactly that. The deep-V design softens the ride when afternoon winds stack up, while the walkaround layout keeps anglers secure when working lines along the rail. When the water temperature drops but the bite is hot, the enclosed helm and cabin provide welcome protection from spray and wind. Trailerable size means you can chase different bites across multiple launches, from sheltered inshore spots to more exposed open-water structure. For a crew that wants serious fishing capability with just enough overnight comfort, this model fits the local conditions exceptionally well.
