    This tiny micro skiff has impressed me with its ability to perform. Now I need to know if she can get me to and from the fishing grounds safely in high winds and water chop. With such low gunwales lets see how she does.

    I am currently building out an HD aluminum casting deck, subflooring, trolling motor, and 100Ah battery up front of my 14’ Jon.
    I wonder how much different the ride will be now.
    I have a 9.8 and was getting 21mph with me and my son in there (

    Get a piece of pvc just larger than the tiller handle and cut a slit on one side of it for about 6”. Put one of stainless screw bands on it and tighten it down. Makes a good tiller extension

    I’ve seen your other videos and was wondering how well do you think that thing would do in a River situation? Or river fishing in general? I’m from the Midwest but those things are some bad little rigs!

    It should have less bounce on high end if you trim it up. trimming down will keep the bow of the boat wanting to dig

  • @stevehogan8829
    @stevehogan8829 3 года назад +1

    So it looks like it's a one man skiff. The good news is you could buy 2 for what the first Skiff cost. Not a bad thing when you think about it. The SkiffWorX is a true winner. Great available options for fitting it to the conditions. Considering you'll be running with you and Christian sometimes, I think it's a great Skiff. So maybe just move the gas up front to seal the deal.

    Get a stingray for the outboard lower unit or self leveling trim tabs and you will not have to put the 25 dumbbells

    Hydrofoil aka whale tail on the outboard to control the dolphining and will aid in getting on plane. Night and day difference in my opinion.

  • @michaeljenkins5557
    @michaeljenkins5557 3 года назад +1

    I guess I'm not confident in not having a skiff that does not have a steering wheel or something to hold on too. All it takes is one large swell to throw a person off balance.

    Id rather have a hydraulic adjustable jack plate instead of that bolt type. Screw that kneeling down and possibly dropping that

      Do you mean hydraulic trim? The jack plate is solid.
