WhiteTip Inc. says: She’s sitting in about 5″ of water here. While everyone is spending a fortune making skiffs out of Carbon Kevlar.
Our method for creating a light and incredibly strong skiff is based on some simple engineering. It’s all about the internal structure. No fancy, expensive material. Just good ole resin and glass hand laid with an engineered stringer grid, and a few other structural components.
Ask the boys over at your favorite skiff manufacturer what their stringer system looks like. Most of them don’t even use one. They just core the hull and call it a day.

@batman_matt Oh just wait and see lol I’m gonna be making some even bigger claims pretty soon. I’ve got something in the works that’s going to put them all to shame, hopefully….I just gotta build it and make sure all the science works out as planned ?

Cool skiffs, I’ve got a hobie. What motor do yall usually rig yalls hulls with

@fishingjordan 40hp is plenty. We’ve done 50s and 60s as well

What kind of speed do you get with the 40? I have a 60 on mine
