SKIFF BOAT BUILD
Welcome as we share with you a one of a kind skiff rebuild on a $500 budget!! (Details and Performance specs listed below) In this episode we take an old Carolina Skiff J12 model and turn it into a head turner that is one of the funnest boats we've built to date!

PERFORMANCE / HP specs:
6 hp 4 Stroke: We first tested the skiff with a 6hp which resulted in NOT being able to get on plane w 2 adults. This also was Pre Hull extensions. The only way the boat would get on plane was with Chelsea alone resulting in a 12 mph top speed.
15 hp : Top Speed 25 mph (23 mph w/ 2 adults and gear)
A majority of the clips in this video were filmed with the 15 hp outboards. We ran both an older yamaha and Mercury 2 strokes resulting in impressive performance and an extremely shallow draft. This was definitely the PERFECT motor size for this skiff!
20 hp: Top Speed 28 mph (under propped/hitting rev limit)
We threw on an older 2 stroke Mariner which was the same weight/motor as a 25 hp, the boat did well with the added weight and performance was definitely better, but.... we didnt run enough prop. 10 pitch prop was used. It could most likely have used a 12 pitch based on revs (measured with Tiny Tach). Overall, great performance , deeper draft, and definitely used more fuel.
BUDGET:
-Bare hull: Freebie, found in Okeechobee through word of mouth. $0
-Materials: Resin, Gelcoat, cloth, sandpapers, tape, stainless hardware, etc $200
-Grab Bar: Purchased from Marine Parts Outlet in Stuart $50
-Grab Bar Welding: Welded at D+M Welding in Jensen Beach $20
-Outboard Bracket: D+M sold and cut C CHannel to specs given $40
-Console: Found in junk pile of local yard $0
-Cushion : Purchased at Marine Parts Outlet in Stuart $20
-Cushion Base: PVC board cut from bigger Home Depot Piece est $10
-Fuel: Run from STuart to Okeechobee $20
-Core Material for transom: remnant piece from dumpster diving $0
-Rub Rail: re used original ( minor trimming) $0
GRAND TOTAL for transformation (not including motor or trailer) $360
