Shallow Water Performance • Hand-Built in North Carolina
The Coastal Skiff 171 is a versatile 17-foot skiff designed for anglers and boaters who want a simple, durable, and affordable platform capable of running in extremely shallow water. With a draft of only 6 inches and a modified-V hull design, the Coastal Skiff 171 is ideal for navigating creeks, marshes, flats, rivers, and inshore bays.
Available with either Suzuki or Mercury outboard power up to 60 horsepower, this boat offers outstanding value for fishermen, families, and first-time boat owners alike.
Built one at a time in Fair Bluff, North Carolina, every Coastal Skiff is hand-rigged and finished by the owners, ensuring attention to detail that is difficult to find in mass-produced boats.
Why the Coastal Skiff 171 Stands Out?
The Coastal Skiff 171 was designed around simplicity, reliability, and shallow-water performance. Its lightweight construction, wide beam, and modified-V hull provide excellent stability while allowing access to water that many larger boats simply cannot reach. Whether you're targeting redfish in the marsh, crappie on a local lake, or exploring backwater creeks with family, the 171 delivers exceptional versatility for its size.
Unlike many production boats, Coastal Skiffs are built by a family-owned North Carolina manufacturer where each boat is individually rigged and finished before delivery.
