| Call from a great fisherman: | SKIPJACK / Customer service: | ||||||||||
| I want to buy a really good fishing boat! |
--> |
OK, let me help you | |||||||||
| It is for me and my family. |
--> |
OK, Let me help you customize it just for you. I would suggest a 330hp diesel, for power, reliability and economy. | |||||||||
| Diesel? What will my wife say? |
--> |
Our new diesels do not have the diesel smell, no smoke and very quiet. | |||||||||
| Great. What about starting the diesel? Will my wife be able to start it? |
--> |
Of course, our new diesels just take a turn of the key, no priming, no glow plugs, no fuss. Better and easier starting than gas engines. | |||||||||
| Hmmm....she will be delighted |
--> |
Now....do you plan to only fish, take trips, ocean fishing? | |||||||||
| We want to be able to travel to other states as well as do some ocean fishing. |
--> |
Let's back up a moment, you will want a trailerable boat, right? | |||||||||
| Yes. |
--> |
OK, I would suggest a 3 axle trailer with disc brakes. That way you can travel to the northwest, drop it in the ocean in the Seattle area, Lake Powell, the river or where ever. | |||||||||
| Great. |
--> |
Now, will you be sleeping on the boat? | |||||||||
| Yes, my wife and kids will use it as a second home, like an apartment away from home. |
--> |
The 26 has sleeping for 4, a full kitchen & dinette seats 4. Our 26 ft will fit your needs to a tee. | |||||||||
| Great again! |
--> |
Any questions at this point? | |||||||||
| Yes, what about traveling with a boat that size? |
--> |
It does not require permitting to trailer it, no special signs, just hook up and go. This is because the 26 is 102" wide, just right for the highway. | |||||||||
| I am impressed with this boat. |
--> |
Thank you | |||||||||
| Now, what about toilet, shower and other comforts? |
--> |
A fully enclosed shower, head (toilet), sink and large mirror. | |||||||||
| Sink, what about hot water? |
--> |
The 26 has a hot water heater, electric when the engine is not running and heated from the engine's coolant when the engine is operating. | |||||||||
| That's a lot of boat. |
--> |
Yes it is. | |||||||||
| Now for more questions. I have heard that some boats splash a lot of water into the rear area when under way. |
--> |
The 26, as well as our other boats, have exclusive run-dry hull designs. This means the riders in the cockpit do not get wet. I can personally say, not even a drop. | |||||||||
| Do you test ride your products? |
--> |
Yes, I can tell you stories of stability, run-dry cockpit, quiet operation and all around fun. | |||||||||
| Quiet operation? |
--> |
Yes, under full power, even while riding in the cockpit or flybridge, you can carry on a normal conversation without raising your voice. | |||||||||
| Hard to believe. |
--> |
A test drive would prove these things. Many a customer has been "SOLD" after a test ride. | |||||||||
| What gives the 26 this quietness? |
--> |
Sound insulated engine cover, new quiet diesels, and exhaust exiting the outdrive under water. | |||||||||
| Sounds like a well designed boat. |
--> |
Yes, we have been building Skipjack's since 1976. They not only have great engineering, but have years of testing and evolution. The new models always get improved. | |||||||||
| What about the "Flybridge"? | --> |
We do not know of another boat in this size range that has a "Flybridge". |
|||||||||
| I have heard that for fishing in the Pacific, a "Flybridge" is great. | --> | Yes, a "Flybridge" is a 'must have' for ocean fishing. It allows you to be up high and see the fishing spots. | |||||||||
| Ok, what if I am not fishing? | --> | The "Flybridge" is still a great place to sit and enjoy the ride. Steering and control from the "Flybridge" is also easier than inside or from the cockpit. | |||||||||
| Ok, but the weather? | --> | We offer a full enclosure for the "Flybridge". This keeps you out of the weather when needed. | |||||||||
| Hmmm... sounds great! Maybe even safer to drive? | --> | Yes, you are right, the higher up allows for better control and visibility. | |||||||||
| Seating? | --> | Various seating option are available for the "Flybridge". 2 helm seats, 1 helm 1 bench, or one wide bench. Most prefer 1 helm 1 bench. | |||||||||
| OK, options. Can my wife choose interior colors? |
--> |
Yes, 10 different combinations to choose from. Blues, grays, browns, greens and others. | |||||||||
| What if I want something special? |
--> |
We also offer many fabrics from our sample books. | |||||||||
| Do you offer financing? |
--> |
Yes, we can arrange it through one of our friendly dealers. He can also take you for a test drive. | |||||||||
| OK, I am sold. | --> | You are invited to the factory in Hesperia and "meet the Skipjack's". We have a free gift for visiting. | |||||||||
| Thank you very much! | --> | And thank you for calling. I will have a dealer get in touch with you today. | |||||||||
| I am looking forward to my new Skipjack. | --> | See you soon. | |||||||||
