Capt. Smith Looks at Striper Boats by Seaswirl

Director of Testing, Capt. Rob Smith, takes an in-depth view of Striper boats by Seaswirl.

Seaswirl was started in the American Northwest in the late 1950s but didn’t become
a national brand until about 15 years ago. Five years ago it moved its production
east to take advantage of Genmar’s production economies. Now the company builds
15 models from 18’ to 33’ in center console, walkaround, and dual console configurations.
Most of the Stripers are designed differently from many center consoles, most notably
because of their high freeboard forward, deep, secure cockpits, all composite transoms,
and affordable price. By building a solid basic boat without lots of frills, they
keep the price low, allowing you to add only what you want so you don’t pay for
what you don’t need. Capt. Smith compares the Striper line with other brands and discovers
a few things that may surprise you -- see video here.
