    Today I want to let y'all know why I decided to purchase my micro skiff. There's so much to be said about this spectacular platform. I don't think it's for everyone but I know for certain that it is for me!

    Your money your choice. You don't have to justify it to anybody. It works for you enjoy it!

    I'm just glad you got her. You've certainly been able to create and provide us some fantastic and "FUN" videos using it. Time with your son will never be replaced. Totally get it. It's perfect really except for configuration issues with the engine mount and platform. Storage these days is a real issue. Very few locations allow home owners to have boats sitting out side in the yard, Storage options are expensive. I must bring my Kayak indoors and actually have it in my garage which acts as a man cave with carpet and finished walls. I'm interested to see how things play out with this and your latest acquisition. I bet you can or already have overcome the big issues you were having. The in_hull tank is a real plus. I think it would be comfortable fishing it with the center console. My legs prevent me from using the platform but I'd love having that seating down low. I'm actually thinking of you in the Blue Skiff these days rather than the Kayak. For us out here what you bring to us is allowing us to do the things we'll never get the chance to do. Thanks and thanks again. . She is the exact same color as my first car when I was 18. That was a 63 Sport Fury convertible.

    It is the best looking of the kayak alternative skiffs. Might see if Dragon fly would let you run one of their Marsh Hens with the wheel option to get past the really skinny areas it the deeper holes.

    Hey Mark, what a little while ago. It was like an episode popped up, I was watching it and then all of a sudden, it was gone. Or was it me?

      probably just the B Roll I used for this video. I didn't want y'all to have to stare at my face the entire video 😂

  • @redfishrecon48

    Its a great looking ride and looks to do pretty well but if you decide you want the aluminum version, should check out the MircoX skiff by Xtreme Boats. Lengths 1345-1645 picked up mine with ipilot and elite ti2 7'' for 14k and my second one loaded out to the max for 19k.

  • @roooorey8978
    @roooorey8978 3 года назад +2

    What's it cost rigged with the trolling motor? Does 14k include the mercury? If they could make it 54' wide it would probably make way more stable and possibly decrease the draft
    I know in other vids you said it feels tippy. I would really like one.

    After having this for a few months now, do you still feel the same way about this HSkiff? I’m looking at buying one in a few days and trying to get all the feedback before the purchase.

    What about skiffworx? And what do you guys think about a surface drive on one?

      Not sure what you’re meaning.

    • @dred5375
      @dred5375 3 года назад

      @@texascoastalliving well a surface drive uses an air cooled motor and can run extremely shallow! Check out mudskipper surface drive? Just curious how you think it would work! I'm running a 12ft v bottom with a 6.5 longtail and I love that thing!

    At the end of the day, as long as it suits you and makes you happy, that’s all that matters. The price stings a bit. But it does look pretty awesome.

    H SKIFFS are insanely overpriced. Resale value is terrible.

    Looks crap. Buy a real classic skiff, the Salter 14ft. A dream to row and built like a tank, since 1854.
