I have a 19' Carolina Skiff and I use it on the Pamlico sound. It runs in
literally inches of water. I use a 70 HP Yamaha 2 stroke and have a 26
gallon tank. I can use it daily during the summer and only put gas in once
a month. The Tri-Hull is called the semi V series. Many believe that it
really doesn't do enough to justify the price difference. It's a great, low
maintenance boat. They have a deal on something they call a Pre Rig, which
is equipped with many popular options. Good Luck. David

After enjoying my Mako 254 for nearly 7 years, and many thousands of
dollars
in gas/TLC, I have decided to trade it in on something a bit more
practical
for my
current needs. I no longer desire to go offshore and have moved into a
neighborhood
with its own ramp (maybe 1.5' water at low tide). I have often thought
that
if
I ever got a new boat, it would be something of a "flat bottom" ,
"Carolina
skiff" type.
I have also noticed some of these boats use a pseudo "tri hull" shape on
the
bow.

I saw one this weekend in the inlet around 21' WITH a center console! I
fell in
love immediately. I couldn't make out the brand but I am on the hunt for
something
like this.


Any suggestions, links would be appreciated.
