Carolina Skiffs....
Anybody here own one of these?
http://www.carolinaskiff.com/listman...ngs/l0006.html I have a potential buyer for my Ranger who seems really hot to trot - we're just negotiating on some minor issues. I've been looking around and these seem to have some appeal to me for some reason. Anybody have any experience with them? |

I've been looking around and these seem to have some appeal to me for some reason. Anybody have any experience with them? Had 4 (17' & 19' with Johnson 70 and 90s respectively) at the environmental company I worked for in 95-96. They bought for the shallow draft which was handy when performing spill clean ups. Puttering around flat water they're fine, but get a little chop and that flat bottom will beat the crap out of you and the boat. Only way I could get any speed and attemp to save my spine was to put some weight on the rail (myself or passenger) so that the chine would dig in and act as a "v". If we were lucky and running in a flat calm, making a turn at speed was it's own adventure with the boat sliding sideways. Had to make sure my "ballast" was on the "inside" rail of the turn! Also, I wasn't impressed with the way I could see the sides oil canning when running. We also had a 14' old tri hull with a 40hp Merc that I would choose over the Carolina Skiffs when whenever possible. And the tri hulls don't ride nearly as well as a shallow v. |

I can see it pounding pretty hard and I wouldn't think it could handle half of what the Ranger can??? Nice looking in my opinion, but not nearly as versatile in open water and would just look funny on the small lakes you frequent too.. |

This is the place to look. http://www.carolinaskiffowner.com/ There's another forum I used to read, don't know if its still there. There is probably as much owner info on the CS as there is on the Whaler. I see the CS as the Chevy of boats. I'm a Chevy guy. Are you? hehe --Vic |
