Skiffs @ the boat show

[Big Dave]

I say this respectfully. I looked at those skiffs, Honestly a great name and I am sure the quality matches. But when I look at them I personally don't see the value. I'm sure a lot of people do, But for a boat motor and trailer its about 19 grand less tax. I just cant see to part with that kind of money for a boat like that. Sure makes the used boat market look very appealing.

You're not offending me, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just sending some info Pat's way. I don't buy new boats either.

His other line of boats, the Roth-Bilt, are in the mid 30K range for an 18' skiff, by comparison this seems cheap.

I don't know Patrick !!
I went last night and the prices even for an inflatable with oars was insane. 5 figures for an open skiff with a tiny outboard and NO accessories. I see how "affordable boating really is" now....
Good Luck

I know a guy working the show who sold a 30+ footer for over 220K.

Now I know where my 401K money went....
