400 lb max capacity..$3,500 My NuCanoe 13ft has a max capacity of 700lbs (scuppers installed), and the ability to put an outboard gas engine on the back (6hp). And it weighs less than 70lbs. Cost $1,600

We spoke with the USA distributor. USCG screwed them. It makes zero sense. It was tested with over 1000lbs of bricks and floated fine. In Brazil they run two people and 9.9-15hp on these. If they sold it as a kayak they could rate it for 1000+lbs and people could put whatever motor on. If they sell as a boat the USCG for some stupid reason signed off at 400lbs. If they add a little more internal floatation they could possibly get USCG to sign off at 600lbs, but that adds cost. It makes zero sense that a milk jug plastic POS bass Raider or other budget plastic boat would have better rating. This Lite Skiff is really awesome. Kayaks and boats are rated differently by USCG. Kayaks are rated by what it takes to literally sink. The boats are rated by a formula and apparently how the USCG feels that day. Lite Skiff is 1000% better boat than NuCanoe for capabilities. I’ve owned both. Anyway, hopefully see a increased rating in future. Simplest solution is to sell it as a kayak with MCO certificate and let people register it. Even if we didn’t I would still buy one. It is the best truck boat I have owned. This situation of bypassing USCG reminds me of the technicalities with AR15 and the ATF. If you want a 7.5” barrel AR15 you need to get a pistol stamped AR15 lower with 7.5” barrel upper. If you use a standard AR15 lower it will look and function the same, but you will be at risk of a felony for owning a short barrel rifle without license. The two firearms would be identical, but it is an ATF technicality. Same goes for Lite skiff if it is sold as a boat of a kayak. One results in over double the capacity rating. Government agencies often make zero sense.

Bilge pump in a john boat? Ours was an old milk jug with the top cut off.
@KayakDIY
@KayakDIY Жыл бұрын
That milk jug scoop isn’t going to work well if your Jon boat has built in deck and hatches like this Lite Skiff. Jon boat is a big bathtub that fills with rain water if you don’t store with drain plug pulled out. When you are on the water in a Jon boat and it rains hard or wave comes over bow the hull fills up and has nowhere to go. This Lite Skiff is just an easy low maintenance free boat. It might not be for everyone, but I like less work. I had Jon boats/Gheenoes/canoes/kayaks that would fill with rain water constantly. It got to be annoying and slowed me down with getting them out on the water. I really appreciate the self bailing hull. It is much safer if rougher water conditions kick up in the Florida gulf.

I would argue it is actually very competitive. Nothing else on the market really that does what it does. I had tons of people at iCAST stopping me in parking lot asking where they could buy it. Hobie kayaks, Old Town kayaks, Native Kayaks and many others are incredibly popular and cost more! The Lite Skiff is selling well. My inbox is flooded with messages and they keep selling. Some think why not buy a jon boat, but this does what jon boats can’t. For one self bailing is huge feature I find to be essential. Thunderstorms and rogue waves don’t require me to have bilge…it just drains out. This boat is always dry. Way safer than Jon boats. If it were a Jon boat those same storms and rogue waves would create a bathtub…you NEED a bilge on Jon boats. Also Jon boats come bare and you have to often add hatches and deck which adds cost. Most Jon boats aren’t as easy to haul/transport. This boat is also incredibly stable based on hull shape. More stable than Jon boats of similar size. Hull also has conforming inner hull foam floatation for added safety….Jon boats do not. $3499 is a steal IN MY opinion.

I saw what it could do in Brazil on the Amazon and I wanted one for long time. Was glad when they got distribution and dealers in USA.

Don’t get me wrong, I love fixing up and rigging cheap kayaks into awesome rigs….BUT sometimes it is nice to just spend $3k-4k and get what you wanted in the first place.

Ok after writing and erasing 3 different replies lets see if i can make this less crass. 1. For 3.5k you are able to buy a jackson coosa or an entry level hobie. Both of which come with a drive system and nice seating. 2. A traditional aluminium john boat design typically comes with 1 to 2 swivel seat post holes. They also come with deeper flat seats. This design makes my back hurt without even getting in it. 3. This design lacks functionality and anything ergonomic. The parts you grab to pull it are flat. The rod holders are straight up and down. No yak rails that i can see. You have a dozen kayaks that you ran by. The blue one looked like a hobie even and somehow you ended up with what looks to be the most uncomfortable big yak one could design. Storage is nice and all but like with kayaks you can make a bit of it inner hull and remove a bit of storage on top to make way for a little comfort. Curious to see future designs of this.

My friends have these boats. I just got one on loan until my Lite Skiff arrives. I got a 6hp Yamaha and a 3hp epropulsion motor for it. Registration stickers are in route to be sent to me will likely have on water footage next week. I will the different motors. I will add trolling motor to bow. I will play around with and post more content. 😊 My messages have been non-stop since posting. So many requests for info and the company sold out once, but luckily just got another shipment. I think they put in another large production order in advance so they have more stock before my next vids. I knew it would be popular, but didn’t know it would be this much. Guess when you have popular fishing kayaks like Hobie/Native/OldTown that cost $5000 this Lite Skiff becomes even more attractive.

For $1000 it would be almost impossible. Rotomolding is more expensive than TST and the hull is way thicker. TST is how the cheap Sun Dolphin and Pelican department store boats are made. The shipping alone is expensive on thick rotomolded boat this size. That being said it is way more durable than Hobie kayak. The hull is like lifetime thick. I drag it a lot and beat the hell out of mine. Aliex YT channel and I just went out on it last week shark fishing. Bagged a blacktip shark and did a catch and cook on island. Not saying I don’t understand your hesitation based on price. This caters to those who have the money to spend on Hobie fishing kayaks. It gives them something else to consider.

If you can afford the latest iPhone every year, or newer cars, or name brand clothes and eating out a lot you can afford this boat. Just choices on how to spend money. Most pedal fishing kayaks by name brands cost more than this fishing boat. I spent less on this waterfront house than most of the whiners in the comments section. I’m not rich. We scrapped up and saved for years to get down payment. We got a loan for home. We paid $250,000 for this ocean access waterfront home. Most homes in Sioux Falls South Dakota where I lived were going to cost us $250-350k.

Discount code: KayakDIY Will save you around 5%. They just issued me a code for viewers after seeing it go viral. Got 800k views in 24-36hrs. Boat to me is already great deal considering my Hobie PA is about $4600 and my friends have Old Town and Native kayaks that are $3600-5000! It is just about as easy to transport and handle as the large kayaks, but way more versatile. I just added a no-drill bow trolling motor mount. Got something special I’m hiding from viewers. Super cool budget mod. Gonna blow some minds!

More like 11-12 payments. Worth it to me. Best truck boat I’ve owned. Hatches for storage, self bailing (no drain plug/bilge/or draining hull constantly), has wheels for launching at remote sites, stores easily, and can rig it with everything a bigger fishing boat has. I personally try not to rig it with too much though. The reason I love it is for the portability. I do utilize the hatches a lot though. Today I threw a grill onboard and cleaning station….cleaned and cooked catch on the boat in the Florida gulf. Going out again tomorrow. Boat is just easy to own and costs less than most name brand pedal fishing kayaks.

Well it isn’t my company so no hard feelings. However, hard to argue that Hobie and other brands of kayaks can be $3500-7500 but this can’t be $3500. That logic doesn’t make any sense. Hobie and many big brand kayak companies are selling tons of their fishing kayaks for more money than this….so that kinda proves it isn’t that expensive. Also this boat has much thicker hull and would outlast any of the fishing kayaks.

What are you talking about? Definitely are features. Having a boat ready to go with large hatches, strong rotomolded hull, self bailing hull, aluminum transom, deployable wheels, track mounts throughout, etc. There aren’t many other boats that have these features at this price. Jon boats don’t have the hatches and aren’t self bailing. The department store bass boats are made cheap and stapled at the seam. This is less money than most popular pedal kayaks on the market.
