2023 Sterling 180TS

Step aboard the 180TS and you’ll notice how clean and fish‑first the layout is. Wide, uncluttered decks make it easy to work a fish all the way around the bow, while the low profile keeps you tight to the water and out of the wind. The console is thoughtfully arranged so you can actually see and reach everything while running in skinny water. Generous dry storage keeps gear out of the way but close at hand, and the livewell is positioned for quick bait changes between shots. It’s a hull that feels solid and quiet underfoot, with the kind of shallow draft that invites you to push deeper into the backcountry than you’d usually dare.

This 180TS really shines in the mix of open bays, mangrove shorelines, and shallow flats found in this area. The hull is designed to slip over skinny water to reach tailing fish at first light, yet still has enough backbone for choppier afternoon runs across open stretches. Its size makes it easy to tuck into tight creeks and pole quietly along oyster bars or grass edges without feeling cramped. Paired with the efficient 115 power, you get quick hole shot for hopping spot to spot and economical fuel burn for long days exploring distant islands, sandbars, and channels that define local waters.
