Kayak on steroids
The Solo Skiff can best be described as a hybrid kayak-like vessel, borrowing features from different types of water craft. A split-tailed rear with an elevated transom handles a low-horsepower outboard or trolling motor for propulsion. Incorporated into the stern is a flush run-off deck that allows water to self-bail. A raised seat, doubles as a fishing platform as well as the access too the storage compartment. The hatch has a heavy-duty latch and large rubber gasket to keep gear dry. Two rod tubes in the forward bulkhead handle 9-foot fly rods.
