A skiff is a small, lightweight powerboat designed for shallow water, nearshore fishing, and utility work. Skiffs prioritize simplicity, stability, and easy trailering, often featuring flat or shallow V hulls, open decks, and outboard engines. They’re popular for anglers, charter operators, and anyone needing a nimble boat that’s low-cost to operate and maintain.
Inspect the hull for cracks, soft spots or repairs, check transom integrity, examine the outboard engine hours and service history, and verify that steering, fuel system and electricals work. A test run is essential to confirm performance and handling.
Match engine power to the boat’s size, weight and intended use. Too little power struggles in rough water; too much can stress the hull and transom. Consult manufacturer recommendations and consider fuel economy and boat load.
Small skiffs are usually trailered locally. For long-distance moves, use an open or enclosed boat hauler, roll-on/roll-off service, or freight broker. Secure the boat, drain fluids if required, and provide clear pick-up/drop-off instructions.
Regular tasks include flushing and servicing the outboard, checking and replacing anodes, inspecting bilge and drains, cleaning the hull, and maintaining batteries and steering. Follow the engine maker’s service intervals.
Drain water, fog the engine, stabilize fuel, remove batteries or keep them charged, cover the boat to protect from UV and moisture, and store on a trailer or cradle in a sheltered area.
