Boat Description

Completely refurbished by David Gause at the factory in 2012 and further upgraded in 2021 with brand new electronics, a modern stereo, and a powerful 300hp Mercury V8, the Gause Built 26 is the culmination of generations of fishing expertise tailored for the West Coast of Florida. This boat is designed to float and navigate in less than a foot of water, offering ample space for multiple anglers. It combines the best features of a flats boat with the spaciousness and dry ride of a sport fishing boat. The original model was highly successful, garnering strong sales and customer satisfaction, with owners reporting they could confidently venture over 60 miles offshore. Recognizing the opportunity to improve, the Gause family undertook a significant redesign in 2004, enhancing comfort and functionality despite the challenges of production interruption. The new hull design features increased bow flare to deflect spray, leading to a more comfortable and visually appealing ride. Stability is enhanced with a wide reverse chine that provides better lift, reducing drag and creating a drier experience on the water. The center console is thoughtfully designed for optimal storage and protection from the elements, integrating innovative features that set it apart from typical fishing boat consoles. The new Gause Built 26 also boasts wider gunnels to facilitate easy movement for anglers, especially when casting for bait. The large top-loading anchor locker is easily accessible, eliminating frustrations when anchoring. Comfort is further prioritized with redesigned seating and high-quality materials, ensuring a smooth ride in an open fishing boat. With an intelligent hull shape, anglers can cast comfortably without the risk of stubbing their toes, allowing for longer, more accurate casts. Key Specs include a length of 26' 7", a draft of approximately 12 inches, a beam of 8' 10", and a full composite, foam-cored, unsinkable construction. With a fuel capacity of 95 gallons and a deadrise of 45° at the bow and 12° at the transom, this boat is built for performance in both shallow waters and rough offshore conditions, featuring wide gunnels with non-skid, a massive rear livewell, and ample storage, including a slide-out cooler. Powered by a 300hp Mercury V8, this vessel promises an unparalleled fishing experience.
