Well, Here She Is

I suppose this is about as pretty as she'll ever be, picked-up my Hybrid Kevlar Jon/Skiff Saturday. The ETEC came with a 7 year warranty & is broke-in with the best part, next scheduled maintenance 3 yr. Still have to mount a few things, but am happy with the finished product. Now I can take advantage of all water ways Florida has to offer. Also have to tip my hat to Mel, at Salt Marsh Skiffs for making the modifications to the rear deck hatch storage compartment & adding a few extra's I didn't think about in the vision. Up next, registration & fish slime.

Yeah, they call that there "mini" console, fell in love with it the 1st time I seen it. The larger console was awkward for sitting & the side console was too close to the knees, also the mini access to up front is easy from either side.

Gotta think about that one, but can always use any luck when out on the water, LOL, BTW wish you the best with the back situation & speedy recovery!

That's gonna be a fun boat to explore the back waters in. Congrates

Great looking skiff. Like the reverse chine, that will help with stability a lot. Lots of luck and big fish.

Nice, now go get some slime in her.................................

What kind of bait tank/ livewell is that?

Jeff, need some info and pics on a few things, who made the livewell and how is it plumbed? Also how are those seats mounted and does it make lifting that rear hatch difficult? Where did Mel put your gas tank and trolling batteries? Trying to get some ideas lined out for future :)
