Owner Experience Review

Owners describe the 26 Center ConsolefromSTRIKEas a purpose-built offshore platform that doubles comfortably for day use and weekend runs. One owner ad even pitched it as an ultimate fishing machine, and the layout backs that up: a large cutting board, bait tank, and open working deck keep the cockpit clear when lines are tight. Broker listings consistently show full instrumentation and turnkey electronics, while the small cuddy is used as sheltered stowage or a simple berth for crew. A 100-gallon fuel capacity is commonly cited in specs to support longer-trip capability.

On the water, industry quotes repeated in broker materials call the ride sea‑kindly, and reported speeds put cruising around 24.5 knots with a top near 29 knots. Owners and brokers alike highlight confident, responsive handling paired with strong diesel thrust. Diesel inboards are the norm on this model family—older examples with Cummins 5.9 and newer with John Deere 4.5/450 appear in listings—and one forum owner noted after a rebuild that the engine starts instantly, popping on the first compression stroke. With a production story beginning in 1988 and completions noted as recently as 2019–2024, there’s a heritage that can aid parts sourcing and service familiarity, though equipment details vary by hull and year.

Pros and Cons

• Sea‑kindly ride and confident, responsive handling with a reported cruising speed around 24.5 knots.
• Diesel inboard options (Cummins 5.9, John Deere 4.5/450 noted) deliver strong thrust and easy starts per an owner report.
• Fishing‑first layout with bait tank, large cutting board, open deck, plus a cuddy and 100‑gallon fuel capacity for longer outings.
• Top speed is about 29 knots, which some buyers may consider modest.
• The cuddy is compact and typically serves as stowage or a simple berth rather than full accommodations.
• A production span from 1988 to 2019–2024 means fit and equipment vary by individual boat.
