Our SW 16 Skiff is designed to be very stable side-to-side and tip-to-tail. We want our customers to feel stable and not tippy when leaning over the gunwale, and for them to be comfortable navigating when running under motor. The hull bottom is flat from near the bulkhead to the transom with three raised 1″ ribs. There is a very shallow “v” on our hull bottom, just forward of the bulkhead to cut chop. We have designed our hull to have significant sidewall angle moving forward from mid-ship to the bow. This helps with displacement and stability, and it really helps keep our SW 16 passengers dry when running. The spray from bounce and chop naturally is shed to the side and away. Our SW 16 Skiff is rated for a 40 HP, but it will get on plane with a 15 HP. You should expect for two adults to go 23+ mph with a 25 HP and over 30 mph with a 30 HP.
