Swing over to the shop and I'd be more than happy to show you how / why we feel this way about our microskiff. All bagged and resin infused using a vinylester resin. All high end s.s. hardware. Exceeds USCG upright and level floatation requirements so you know it's a safe craft. You ask....I answer.
A nano goes for $7,800 and that's a complete skiff (a very high end build. 316 s.s. fasteners, 3 piece rub Rail with s.s. end caps. Gemlux garboard drain, I build them as if it was built for myself) or $9,600 with the over built custom alum. Trailer with 13" tires. There are only a few nano's currently in circulation since we are just bringing them to market meaning not many people have dragged an eye over one.. Open invitation to visit and wet test if interested.
It’s because he had The Skiff Shop do a bunch of custom work, read the list of changes and upgrades. That adds up quick if you have ever priced out something like that at a high end shop.This guy paid $20,500 for a complete Nano 13. I guess he didn't get the secret discount...

So, you're saying he did over $12,000 in upgrades. Haha, he added a poling platform and some rigging. I guess the skiff shop is getting pretty expensive.
Custom work and redesigned hatches, rod tubes, color matching etc. adds up and done at Tom Gordon’s shop isn’t cheap. Read the ad again really slowly and take notes. I’m not copying, pasting and highlighting for you.
calm down. take a deep breath.
The dude's got way more experience than most realize. The boats have been around longer than a year as well. They've been made by a few builders, but it's his mold.
There’s no reason to come at me, I was setting you straight because you were posting misinformation that could possibly mislead anyone that glossed over the thread. If I was building skiffs and had a guy like you posting nonsense on a thread about my skiffs I’d want someone to set you straight so I didn’t have to be unprofessional and do it myself. Thanks for the passive aggressive apology. I will be off work the next 6 days so you won’t have to read many posts of mine.
In all fairness I actually had a private conversation with this gentleman that owns this Nano and he has done extensive Mods to this craft including closing of the hatches to make them compartments as well as installing a onboard fuel tank the mods are where the money is at. I have wet tested the wrightwater and it is a very nice skiff for the money. I am slated to water test the Nano before June. and probably make my order at that time. but the price for the nano Is not that much. attached is the price list for the nano from Alain at nano. I did like the ride of the wrightwater and it was a very well built skiff. but for me it was the extra hatches and the history of the HB skate that actually sold me on the skiff. Also Johnathon and Alain are both excellent boat builders with years of experience Alain Has worked with many manufacturers over the years with HB and Pathfinder being a few I am sure there are more. Johnathon's reputation is impeccable also with his great workmanship and skiffs he manufactures. I don't think that there is any one better skiff its just what is better for the individuals preferences and needsThis guy paid $20,500 for a complete Nano 13. I guess he didn't get the secret discount...
