Hey if that motor is a 10 hp, you can replace the carb with one for a 15 hp from Amazon for like $30! That’s the only difference between the 10 and 15, the carb port on the 15 is bored out slightly more.

I have a small Jon boat I treat like I would a kayak or solo skiff, and never thought of using pvc pipe as a runner for the trailer. That’s a fantastic idea and I might have to steal it from you and redo my trailer this weekend!!

I always had a thing for solo skiff like yours and I was just in Galveston ( Jamaica Beach) last week and told myself solo skiff is perfect for shredding down the waterways and fishing.

Looks cool but they didn’t leave any room for my Yeti in the middle. So bizarre to consume all that space with that ginormous hatch/seat. That front bow cover should be smaller too, you need all that space, esp on a small craft. It’s a little on the heavy side too, @ 150 lbs. You can build a micro-skiff in a couple weekends that will come in at less than 90 lbs. However, for the price, if you’re not a builder, this is pretty good. The BOTE Rover is insanely priced compared to this one. Cool review man, she really scoots with that little Johson. Imagine if that whole rig was 65 lbs lighter though! This isn’t a troll post. . . I’m just being practical in my observations. Cannot wait for summer and to get down to PortA and SPI. Winter is such a drag.

The best way to describe it is it is rotomolded which means it is constructed exactly like a kayak which means hot liquid plastic is injected into a mold and that's how a solo skiff Hull is made

hey so i'm considering one and had a few questions maybe you could answer. i fish near mustang island a lot and want to go through the surf and possibly go out to the oil rigs on calm days, curious if you think it can handle it? I also am built like you physically and wanna know how difficult it is to lift for loading and unloading, any insight would be great! tight lines!
@KagenFishing5 жыл бұрын
TarponTango loading onto the trailer I have is a breeze, even a beach launch is just as easy. A truck would be a little more difficult due to increase of degree of lift but I believe would be doable with a bed extender. My most recent video will give you a good idea of what it can handle. If you look on the channel I surf launch and go out to pleasure pier. It had 2.5ft swells peak and break over the nose and they just wash straight out the back.
