Floats shallow and poles great for an 18ft skiff. I have fished this skiff from NC to FL and LA. Handles big water/ocean very well for a skiff. I had a HB Waterman in the past and this skiff will go most anywhere the Waterman would go.
Boat has always been washed after every use. It has been used mostly in NC and SC so it does have oyster scratches on the bottom of the hull, but otherwise in great shape.

Only selling as I have a new skiff on order. Boat is located in Wilmington NC.

$37,500 OBO

Dropping the price again. Had a buyer back out due to not being able to come up with the money.
Id like to have this boat gone before my new boat is finished if possible. I can meet a buyer anywhere between NC and central Florida when I drive down to Titusville to pick up the new boat in mid September.

Nice rig! I’ve always wondered how the Guide’s handled and open water chop? Is this a rig that you an ease through the inlet and fish the beach for tarpon?

Doesn’t have the ride of a marquesa or Biscayne in rough water but definitely fishes just as good in big water. Very stable and doesn’t take water over the bow or gunnels like a Waterman or Pro. I’ve fished it in the ocean in NC, FL, and out at the chandeleur islands in LA many times.
In NC I run it in the ocean for tarpon and albacore a lot...even in some decent size Atlantic swell. Just gotta take your time when it’s rough.
The perfect do it all skiff...floats/poles very shallow, very stable, tons of storage, and fishes/sits in big water better than any sub 7inch(light load) draft skiff. I often fish myself plus 3 anglers with no problem.
I just have a center console now and have a new skiff on order so don’t need it.

Does it require a lot of tab to ride flat in a very mild chop. My old Redfisher required constant tab adjustments or it would porpoise out of control. Drove me crazy but the ride was stellar!!!

No it doesn't require much tab adjustments once you have the bow where you want it...unless chop angle changes.
With tabs down and it cuts through chop very well, just don't want to tab down too much in ocean swell
