The Lite Skiff might make kayaks obsolete! 

Lmao

Great comment! Saved me from watching

Costs about 200 bucks for material and production, crazy

Hypothermia killed those people.

@@ud251 You must be fun

Um ... what did you just puke onto my screen? - ffs... ENGLISH, please...

The Tiny Boat we've all been waiting for LOL

Just get an aluminum boat with motor and trolling motor for $2000

I was thinking the same thing... Also, could probably mod an aluminum boat to make half of it a deck. The biggest appeal to me of a fishing kayak for a flat skiff is the ability to stand and fish with ease. @@freshandsaltyjohnny

@@donovang6911 my friends brother just got a 17 foot aluminum boat with new engine and new foot trolling motor startup with electronics and trailer cor $1000 just needs to redo the flooring and seating and call it a day. Can stand on it and everything all for $1000. This thing in this video is highly overpriced.

Exactly, it's not going to replace kayaks until they are priced like a kayak. But, they are cool looking.

Good luck! Have you actually priced what's available? A 16 foot basic tracker is five grand, just for a hull.

Glad it helped!

Definitely surprising......super stable!

This is basically the Diablo Amigo Yak on crack.

Him standing on the deck on the other side would've been a massive help in stabilizing it. Other than that, being able to grab further in when you lift yourself out of the water is also a huge help.

Definitely try one out!

Buy evolution 552 camping cruser

yeah baby, and they were rotomolded back then. New ones are two pieces glued together. That old bantam was the best, caught more bass out of that thing...

I fish along an exposed stretch of Pacific coast. Launches and landings are through surf and I often fish close to wash rocks. I think I'll stick with a kayak.

I have to agree, I don't think this competes with kayaks. Mainly because for kayaks you have multiple propulsion systems like paddle, motor, and pedal drives. Also kayaks can be car topped. This however could go pound for pound agaist other boats that primarily use motors for propulsion.

It would be great on a big lake until the wind picked and you were faced with 12"-18" waves.

Push pole in Shallow water

​@@common-sense-is-deaddon't most people in small boats check the weather? I don't lake fish in 15mph winds.

@anothersomebody8195 What do you consider a small boat? I regularly fish big lakes in 15-20 mph winds in an 18' Lund.

@anothersomebody8195 Plus I'm not a fair weather fisherman, if they're biting I'm on the lake. The only weather that keeps me of a lake is lightning.

Much appreciated

Right on!

Looking into one of these, I think they are pretty cool.

@TismFishing I recommend trying one out if you can. It works for me because I need a tandem set up to take my wife. Also we are both pretty small in size. I am about 150lbs and she is only 115lbs. Also check out the autopilot 120 and other kayaks with trolling motor attachment points. All in on it to get it fully GUCCI for effective fishing I'm probably $2500 all in and the kayak itself was $1800. I car topped it for the past few years but recently got a trailer. If you have any shoulder or back issues then car topping is Def not good. I love it though and have caught a lot of fish on it.

@@wouldntyouliketoknow8451 yeah I have a bigwater 132 now and it’s really good. Just want to be able to trim the seat and the possibility of going tandem or adding a small air cooled engine.

@TismFishing Sounds like a nucanoe could be a nice upgrade. One thing to note is that there isn't really any storage since it's all an open deck layout but they have gear management accessories. The base price is 1.8k but as you add on it Def turns into a 2.5k or even 3k kayak. Still better than a boat! I run a trolling motor because I like fishing stealthy.

You should buy one and mock it up with your idea. It sounds as if you would have a market too.

Look for the single man boat one has the pontoons

Concerned with appearance? My farrier used a 2x4, two five gallon buckets with lids and some clamps. Carried it inside his canoe. Attached perpendicular to the axis of said boat, buckets on either side, he could stand up and fish with his two grand kids in it. He said it was as stable as a jon boat. Sorry, do not know the length of 2x4s, but under 12 ft for sure.

Build it and become rich bro 🤑

It's already been built, a split tail kayak whose tail sections scissor out to stabilize the boat for stand up fishing.

Just get a Coleman crawdad with couple seats. I got one and it’s super easy to load and unload. You don’t need a trailer if you have a truck it’s such a small boat and it will cost 5x cheaper than this boat.

I had a Nucanoe. Kind of a hybrid kayak thing. It was great. The only downside was the weight of moving it by myself. If I had a trailer for it it would of been no problem at all. Those things are super stable and plenty of room for one person. And seats like a bass boat. If you have not looked into the, check them out. But this thing in the video looks very nice.

@@mikepalmer2219 thanks

Yeah, an older man whose balance and mobility are probably not the best and probably can't climb back in on their own. Yep, perfect a casket on the water for your grandfather. I would never let a loved one fish from this, and you, however, may not like your in-laws or father. I cherish mine way too much to jeopardize their safety in a plastic toy!

@lokahi fo life u obviously from hawaii. Not sure if u still live here but this skiff would be next to useless for any ocean use. With its super flat bottom and shallow draft i bet even six inch wind waves would be coming over the rail.

because: "liberal nanny state" You're welcome. ( and you're 100% right )

Yeah, I'd still rather a pedal yak with my Torqeedo. People will definitely get use out of that though, I agree.

By the way, I’d love to be one of your friends you trust, ;) so I could have one of your amazing boats!! :) :) :)

Hi. Interesting comments. When I was looking at the design, I thought its major drawback was it didn't have any deep floor space for anything large, such as a couple of scuba tanks or similar. Barely has room to put your feet when you sit. Where did you put big equipment?

12 by 42 John boat is 3 times the boat for half the price & twice the room, room for 2 & lots of gear, good for day or week .

Different boats !

@@stevec5576I’m on the Chesapeake Bay so can’t have open bow in case I get splashed / swamped but you’re right for flat water

@@SethDunbar123 Are you in the lower Chesapeake bay by chance??? I am... and REALLY want to see one of these in person. I just finished overhauling a free 5hp 2 stroke and got it running like new now. It needs a home and I need to explore all of this inshore/near shore salt, brackish, and fresh water that I am surrounded by.

You can add a chair to the back

Yes I thought the same 👍🏼

I always hated those things.

You must not know because you called it a boat. Lol It's about equal to a kids toy. I gave it to my 5 year daughter and she said her J16 is a real boat and this a toy boat for shallow ponds. She has a center console Carolina Skiff J16. Anyone that owns one of these boats and thinks it's that great has never own a boat before. When you buy this and tell everyone it's an awesome boat, you are lying to yourself and trying to make people think you had a nice boat when you had something barely a little more than a raft.

@@FingerStink420 Damn lol not a fan okay. Got a video explaining everything?

@@ClickOnProfile107 The gift of getting bot scam on RU-vid???

You didn’t watch the whole video

That's the plan!

It can handle, moderate chop, nothing huge. There wasn’t good lighting when there was chop.

Glad I could help

Glad you liked it!!

If portability is not a factor for how you fish, then a used bass boat totally makes sense.

When people make this argument I don't understand the point. My used kayak only cost me $75 dollars at a yard sale and it was originally 3 grand.

He even said this in the video then you comment exactly what he said 🤣

​@@deadmanbasslord3156 I didn't stick around to watch the full video, I had some things to do, I can see why some people would want one, just my opinion.

@@Steve-ev6vxand? Correct, a used kayak will be cheaper than new, so will a used boat.

Have you seen the kayaks? $3500 is about par for a nice fishing kayak. Hobie with foot drive get over $5k

@@mmancino1982 I'm not paying that either? There's plenty of ~$1000 kayaks that literally do the same thing, or, also for about 1k you could easily get into a new jon boat. There's plenty of skiffs out there again, for that 1k price tag. Like, this thing would be competing with 3waters Big Fish 120. I dunno about you, but if I'm spending 3500+ I'm not spending it on an over glorified kayak. Hell, even the Big Fish 108 is what, $1700? And this is the problem, its a super niche market already, and putting a premium product price tag on it, when its competing against so many amazing boats that are 1/3rd the cost... How about the Ascend 133? This thing isn't better enough to justify that price tag That's not to shit on the thing, I think its a cool, but it really looks like they didn't look at the market data on what is actually going to sell? I'm sure there will be people who buy it, but if they wanted to target the largest market I'd venture a guess that the 1000-1700 range would have been a better area. Hell, for the same price I could have THREE yaks. or even outfit a a fully loaded 14ft Jon and a yak, and then just choose whichever one I feel like bringing out.

@@Munky332 nice writeup. Don't really care. The kayaks you're talking about just aren't in the same league as the higher end kayaks. There's a reason you hear about Hobie and old town all the time and most people have never heard of a Big Fish. A Civic and a Corvette are both cars but you're not comparing them.

Which one? Only one I'm aware of that has a tm included is the Old Town autopilot which starts about $3k

​@@mmancino1982 I'm looking at the Ascend 133x. It's 2500 comes with xi3 trolling with spot lock. Saltwater rated according to website

Yea, the price of this thing is absolutely over priced.

The NewCanoe frontier looks pretty basic. It's just another large kayak. The USCG rates boats differently than it does for kayaks. If you put them head to head on the water, the Frontier 12 would lose overwhelmingly.

As the owner of a NuCanoe Frontier 12 that I love, these are apples to oranges in comparison. The NuCanoe is amazing in its class as a big sit on top kayak. The Lite Skiff is a legit boat hull than can handle chop with a transom that can handle a real motor. The NuCanoe is maxed at 3hp and I definitely am not going out in rough water under full throttle.

I have owned numerous kayak and boats of all sizes over the years and my nucanoe unlimited has been my absolute favorite. Especially if you utilize their eps system. The unlimited just fits my needs overall vs. This only thing going for its more horsepower capable. No horse power its a floating Lifetime tool shed.

We have two left

I approve of this message.

$200 and with a seat.

Please do!

I think so too!

​@@TinyBoatNationDayum!

miñi tug béter

Got it. 9.9. 15hp

That can be added! Where would you put it if you were going to put one?

I wish you all the luck and safety if you try it. And please record it! Be safe.

Buy scout 145 hybride

Just be careful because clearly you need to watch it if you go that far

Get a mercury 9.9. You can buy an inexpensive conversion kit and get it up to 20 hp for less money than a 15hp!

@@edbradley6815 Is that for 2-stroke or 4-stroke? I know of a kit for the 4-stroke to turn it into 15hp. Which one are you talking about, and is getting it to 20hp reasonably doable?

It is OK in moderate winds with 2 to 3 foot chop. Any more and I would probably stay off the lake.

@TinyBoatNation so is it better than say a hobie outback in chop?.

John boat buddy .

It doesn't need Outriggers
