2018 14 6 Skimmer Skiff Review

[@redfox5305]

Hey man awesome video, because of your review and videos I just order me one today, thanks!!keep up with the videos, Im a tell Bobby you were the one that sold to me

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Julio Garay thank you for the great feedback and I really appreciate that. Let me know when its done, and we can shoot a review video and hit the water. Congrats on your new sled!

[@michaelholmes4183]

I agree with Redfox regarding videos. My last 15 foot Maverick purchase was made after seeing the video back in 2004

[@latitudemarine4975]

My buddy has one of these and I've fished on it several times. He's had it several years and fishes it several times a week and it still looks new because of the care he gives it. It's an incredibly stout and solid boat. The craftsmanship is top notch.

If you haven't been around dudes (SS owner) like this, you are just getting internet opinions. A wealth of knowledge.

[@knotflexin7669]

I had a 2015 14’6 skimmer Skiff, but I sold it when I was in need of money! 😢 I still to this day regret letting it go! Have fun and enjoy it!

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Shoot man, that sucks. Sorry to hear about your loss.. I will my man, maybe someday youll be back on one!

[@clintlowe5518]

Sounds like a great story for the owner. We need more companies like this. Can't wait to order mine.

[@AlexCruz-wc1yo]

Big Frank's Outdoors's seem cheaper

[@henryratajczak3071]

That's a nice clean set up for skinny water fishing. Keep it simple. Congratulations on your new boat.

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thank you for the feedback! It really is, I like my fishing to be a little white knuckle and wet so this is a perfect skiff for a fisherman like myself!

[@henryratajczak3071]

@@JonnyOnthespot tight lines and good fishing !!

[@shallowatertailsfl1589]

Awesome rig bud, go get that thing slimed up 🎣🤙🏽

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thanks Kevin! Oh I have and plan on going tomorrow am bright and early! Got my PR trout first day in it.. 31 inch and 12lbs! Video in progress!

[@shallowatertailsfl1589]

Looking forward to seeing the vid!! I’ll be on the goon this afternoon and then again tomorrow. Weather hasn’t been this good in weeks so I’m taking full advantage!

[@ReelinTension]

After having it a while did you still like it? I thought about getting one

[@Victorkayak]

Awesome you have you’re new boat congrats man niceeeee 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thanks Victor!

[@DEK981967]

Nice boat ! My buddy has the same as you , with a 25 hp Tohatsu tiller.

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thanks DEK! I just put a 25hp 2 stroke Nissan on it.. still haven't tried it.. I plan on doing a Year later review in a few months also keep your eyes out for that! Lots of on water shots and performace footage.

[@DEK981967]

@@JonnyOnthespot I would like to see you run it with the 25 on it !

[@JonnyOnthespot]

@@DEK981967 Will do brotha!! Im planning a few days to get a pile of footage to make a few videos.. one of the skimmer on the water with the 25hp and get a MPH, draft ect..and God willing some big ass fish videos haha!

[@DEK981967]

@@JonnyOnthespot Awesome !!!

[@mkwanderer9483]

How does it run with the 9.8hp with 1 or 2 people?

[@MrGabys91]

How does it take choppy water in the bay? Do you get wet? I'm interested in buying one so I would really appreciate your response 🙏

[@JonnyOnthespot]

nope it does not thats the reason i sold. handles chop poor also very wet and poles sub par. HOWEVER at the price point, its a very nice stable skiff.

[@MrGabys91]

Thanks for the response. So you wouldn't take it out in 15mph winds?

[@saltwaterfever9684]

How stable is the polling platform when your in the water? Also man congrats on the boat I like it!!

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Hey thanks a ton SF! Very stable. Plenty high enough without any tip. The boat poles effortlessly and will surprise you stability wise.

[@knotflexin7669]

I am 250 lbs and I had no problem polling mine around the flats.

[@davem145mxr]

Nice rig

[@SenjaAldee]

great vlog my friend.. here supporting, full view and like

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thank you Senja!!! Im glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the support :D

[@henryratajczak3071]

I have a Maverick Pathfinder 17' tunnel, and fish Mosquito Lagoon all the time.

[@JonnyOnthespot]

from what I hear that's a great boat.. hopefully I see you out there sometime!! tight lines!!

[@henryratajczak3071]

@@JonnyOnthespot Tight lines and good fishing. I'm usually fishing Tiger Shoals, or the Clinker. It's the only Pathfinder with the hunter green hull.

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Ill keep my eyes open! I fish both those areas with some regularity so shouldn't be long til we cross paths haha @@henryratajczak3071

[@henryratajczak3071]

I caught a 37.5" trout just east of Eldora this morning, now heading to Goodrich for breakfast.

[@JonnyOnthespot]

any pictures of that fish?? That would have been a world record. @@henryratajczak3071

[@severedsolace]

8 grand with the motor?

[@gavinkasold3712]

Sweet boat man. I’m hoping I can get one built here in the next couple of months. I was just wondering what kind of speeds you’re seeing with the 9.8. I have an old 15 horse Evinrude in my garage that I’d like to use and I’m not sure if that’s enough power or not

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thanks Gavin. a 15 will do you great, especially those old 2 strokes that weigh 70lbs! probably go 25 to 28mph.. Youll get super shallow and have no worries.. no use in buying a nice 4 stroke honestly except for quiet and fuel efficiency.

[@brettlund2255]

I like it son!!!!

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Thanks man. She glides.. got a PR trout first day in it! video in progress!

[@brettlund2255]

I got a lil J16 and I love that lil boat. But that skiff you got there is sweet

[@JonnyOnthespot]

my dad had a j16, solid fishing boat.. they are great other than handling chop and slide!

[@brettlund2255]

Yea they suck in a chop! I use mine in the rivers here and the small sand bays I made a mistake I put a 40 mercury big foot on it I should have kept my 25 tohatsu

[@JonnyOnthespot]

LOL! I bet that flies literally! Yeah im going to move up to a 20..the 9.8 is surprisingly fast but I want 10 more HP.. I may go 25 but Bobby the owner said its best with a 20.

[@henryratajczak3071]

The IGFA world record is something like 18 or 19 pounds.

[@JonnyOnthespot]

Type it in google.. ive found a few different articles and results, but none of them are 37 inches.. ones 35 and another 34. I don't have an IGFA acct so maybe im missing some info.
