STUART, FLORIDA — We recently took a 16’6 Skimmer Skiff and gave it a major overhaul upgrading almost every aspect of the boat. This project is the 2nd TRB Customs job we have completed and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. We powered this hull with a brand new Mercury Racing 60R that was recently released last year. The 60R is a lightweight, compact outboard tuned and geared to deliver amazing hole-shot acceleration for instant on-plane performance in skinny water. The Mercury Racing 60R fits perfectly on a 15-inch transom. Compared to competing 20-inch motors the Mercury Racing 60R offers a lower center of gravity for better boat handling and stability. It can accommodate a lower poling platform while eliminating the need for a jack plate or flared transom.
From SkimmerSkiff.org:
We’re a family-owned flats boat manufacturing company operating in Central Florida. We were raised on the water and enjoyed getting our kids on the water as much as possible. Our goal at Skimmer Skiffs is to allow families and fisherman to enjoy getting on the water as much as we do. Skimmer Skiffs are perfect for a technical day of fishing on the flats or just taking your family out an afternoon boat ride. We build each of our skiffs with the highest quality possible, with quality parts and components at a price thats realistic and doesn’t break the bank.
