Here’s what the Pros say about Skipjack’s hull…
"...meant
to be used, and occasionally abused"
— Sea Magazine
"Skipjack has built a reputation with solid, well-designed and seaworthy
boats for over 30 years…Construction has always been solid with Skipjack…
solid fiberglass hull.”
"...built
for blue water fishing" — Boating Magazine
"The Skipjack’s hull lamination can stand up to any other boat built for blue water fishing and cruising"
“...some
manufacturers come close”— Trailer Boat Magazine
"There are some manufacturers that come close to Skipjack quality, and a few that can match it, but we have yet to see a boat builder that has exceeded the quality of workmanship seen in a Skipjack."
"...no-frills,
no-holds-barred" — Soundings Magazine
"The modified-vee hull combines a sharp, wave-cutting entry and a full, buoyant bow section that reduces down-wave plunging. Double lifting strakes increase planing surfaces, giving the boat a quick response… A pronounced bow flare and reverse chines aft help give the boat a dry ride."
"…time doesn’t BS"
— Mark Nelson, Charter Captain
"Skipjack far exceeds all other boats in its size range for comfort and seaworthiness. I have over 25 years on the ocean in a Skipjack – time doesn’t BS."
"Skipjack
– best in its class" — Ray Arida, Marine Mechanic
"After 20 years and over 1000 Skipjacks, I can tell you the lay-up and strength of the solid [fiber]glass hull is phenomenal. People consistently put money into repowering 20 to 30 year old Skipjacks because they know it's a good investment”
"…best hull built in the world"
— Ron LeGrand, long term, Owner
"I have owned and fished four Skipjack boats since 1972. I am committed to Skipjack and believe it is the best hull built in the world."
