From the company

“All the toughness of our hybrids wrapped into a traditional skiff design. But don't let its workhorse heritage fool you, this skiff offers performance on a par with the top poling skiffs in the industry. It tracks straight, spins easily and is dead quiet in shallow water. The front "V" entry gives a great ride in a chop and the deep forward spray rails keep you dry. It’s just an unbelievable all around skiff!”
One happy fisherman !😊
Yes sir!
Congratulations !! Happy fishing 🎉
Thanks 👍Happy Birthday to you! 🍾🥂🎉
Congrats Jay, you waited a long time for it.
Thanks man! I'm really excited to finally have it.
Congrats on your new skiff
Thanks!
Sweet set-up J...I'll be looking for you on the water!
Thanks. Come say hello if you see me!
Beautiful boat! I love the slicks under the gunnels. If I were you, the most I do would be reel pads. That’s such a clean look. What was the color scheme?
Thanks! It’s a two tone color scheme Ice Blue and I forget the white color name. Something basic in white. The two tone gets you a colored pan and outlining of the 3 hatches. The Ice Blue console was no extra charge.
How long did it take to build from your build date? I’ve been waiting since August, my build should start in April. Anything you would change, add, or leave off?
@@null8339 Mine took about 3 months. I would probably not have the 2 grab bars on the sides of the console. One larger bar over the GPS would probably be better for my passengers. Then the rod holder on the side would also be more flush to the console as well. People love my push pole and large step which can also be like a seat when fishing. The two tone color was expensive but is worth it to me. I love it!
@@SnookClub I appreciate the reply. The two tone color is beautiful. Tight lines!!
What's the storage length with the folding tongue?
@@James-np1ri Good question. I just measured and it is 19’-6” conservatively. I had previously written down a shorter number,but want to give some room for error. My garage is about 21’ giving me a little room in front and a larger amount in back. Thanks for watching.
