2024 Seaark 18 Foot Shadowt

This ShadowT is all about sneaking into skinny water where bigger rigs can’t follow. The 18-foot hull gives you a wide, stable casting platform, so you can move around without spooking fish or wobbling your footing. The open deck layout leaves plenty of room for coolers, extra rods, and a couple of buddies without feeling cluttered. High, grippy gunnels and rugged hardware show off that classic SeaArk workboat toughness, built to handle bumping over stumps, shell, and the occasional oops at the dock. It’s light enough to launch solo at less-than-perfect ramps, yet substantial enough to feel secure when the afternoon chop picks up on open water.

Waters here demand a boat that can hop from shallow backwaters to wind-blown open stretches in a single outing, and this 18-foot ShadowT fits that role perfectly. The hull length and beam balance shallow draft with enough weight to smooth out short, stacked waves. It’s easy to tow with a mid-size vehicle and simple to store, which suits tight driveways and smaller garages common in the area. The center console layout gives excellent visibility for weaving through crab traps, sandbars, and floating debris, while the tough aluminum construction shrugs off submerged surprises you’re bound to encounter in local creeks, rivers, and nearshore bays.
