Shoalwater boats use outboard engines, and the company packages its boats with Mercury Marine outboards as standard. Outboard power suits Shoalwater's shallow-water design, since the engine can be trimmed up to run in skinny water. If you prefer a different brand of outboard, Shoalwater dealers can usually rig your boat with the motor you want. Matching the right horsepower to your Shoalwater model helps you get the best balance of shallow-water running, speed, and fuel economy. A dealer can help you choose the best engine setup for the water you fish.
