1986 Sea Ox Blue Water Pro

Stock # 182386
1986 Sea Ox Blue Water Pro 26' Dual Outboard 4 Stroke Mercury Verado 225HP 405hrs Gasoline Engines.

Built on one of the most respected heavy-duty offshore hulls ever produced, this 1986 Sea Ox Blue Water Pro 26' has been extensively upgraded into a turn-key, bluewater-ready fishing platform. Known for its wide 9'8" beam, deep-V ride, and rugged construction, this vessel delivers serious offshore capability paired with modern reliability and electronics.

At the heart of this build are twin 225 HP Mercury Verado 4-stroke outboards (installed 2007) mounted on a Stainless Marine bracket, paired with Mercury Inertia stainless props. With just 405 hours, a new port powerhead at 372 hours, and a top speed of 45 knots, this setup offers exceptional performance and confidence offshore.

Structurally, the boat has been fully modernized with a professionally installed new transom (2020) by Young's Fiberglass, pressure-tested 210-gallon fuel system, and a complete marine-grade rewiring (2009) using tinned wire and LED lighting throughout. The result is a classic hull with the dependability of a much newer vessel.

Electronics are robust and redundant, featuring dual Furuno units (radar/GPS/fishfinder) with new transducers and internal batteries (2024), a Garmin GPSMAP 540S, plus ICOM and Uniden VHF radios. This is a fully equipped navigation suite ready for serious offshore use.

Fishing and utility features include:

Full 9-piece helm enclosure

Lenco trim tabs (new actuators)

Saltwater washdown & fish box pump

TACO outrigger mounts

Multiple rod holders & large cockpit workspace

Remote spotlight & Warn 12,000 lb winch

The electrical system is equally dialed in with a NOCO 3-bank charger, BEP battery management system, dual Racor filters, and redundant bilge systems for peace of mind.

Included is a Tidewater tri-axle trailer (8,000 lb capacity) with disc brakes, recent calipers/pads, excellent tires, and spare-making this a complete package ready to travel.

Safety and extras are extensive: auto-inflating PFDs, flare kit (2025), fire extinguisher, anchor system with 500' rode, spare parts, and full documentation, including original manuals and titles.

Bottom line: This is a rare opportunity to own a fully refit, offshore-capable Sea Ox 26 with modern power, updated systems, and a proven hull-ideal for anglers seeking reliability, range, and serious fishing capability without the price of a new build.
