Three in the world. One headed to Lake of the Ozarks.
Now THIS is the kind of boat that gets our attention.
OPC friend and fan Brian Dodge of Columbia, Tennessee is bringing something to LOTO that most performance-boat fans have probably never had the opportunity to see in person — his 2026 Simmons 27R Sig.
And when we say rare, we mean RARE.
🔥 2026 Simmons 27R Sig
🔥 Only THREE currently in the world
🔥 Custom-built performance boat
🔥 Built by ES Custom Boats / Simmons Custom Rigging
🔥 Coming from Columbia, Tennessee to Lake of the Ozarks
Simmons isn't a mass-production boat builder cranking out hundreds of identical hulls.
Their world revolves around custom performance boats, high-end marine rigging and custom fabrication, with a philosophy centered around quality, attention to detail and doing things right.
That makes Brian's new 27R Sig even more interesting.
We've been featuring plenty of old-school offshore iron lately — Cigarette Top Guns, Flat Decks, Café Racers and other boats that helped create the performance-boating lifestyle we know today.
Brian is bringing us something from the other end of the spectrum.
Brand new.
Extremely limited.
Custom built.
And currently one of only three on the planet.
That's pretty damn cool.
Simmons has built its reputation around performance-oriented boats with custom rigging and fabrication, and their builds can incorporate everything from Mercury Racing power and sophisticated marine electronics to custom seating, SeaDek, lighting and highly detailed rigging.
But with a boat this new and this rare, part of the fun is simply getting the opportunity to see one up close.
And where better to bring it than Lake of the Ozarks?
LOTO is one of those places where you can walk down a dock and see a beautifully preserved 40-year-old offshore legend tied up beside something that represents the newest generation of performance boating.
That's what makes this lake different.
Brian is making the trip from Columbia, Tennessee, and we're looking forward to getting our first look at the 2026 Simmons 27R Sig.
With only three currently out there, we're guessing Brian won't have much trouble answering the question:
“What the hell is THAT?”
😂
👇 OPC fans, let's hear it:
When you're walking the docks, which makes you stop faster?
A rare brand-new performance boat that you've never seen before — or a beautifully restored old-school Cigarette?
And more importantly…
Who's ready to see Brian's 27R Sig running at LOTO?
Keep your eyes open for this one. There aren't many places you're going to have the opportunity to see one — yet.
📸 Have a rare, custom or unique performance boat OPC should feature? Send it our way. From brand-new builds to 40-year-old offshore legends, we want to share the boats and the people behind them.
