Description
If you’re looking for a boat that’s simple, versatile, easy to own, and really well suited for shallow-water boating, you need to take a look at the Coastal Skiff 171.
At 17’1” with a 79-inch beam and only a 6-inch draft, this boat gives you a lot of usable space without being a big, heavy boat to tow and launch. With the 60-horsepower max, you’ve got plenty of power for fishing, cruising, getting around the bay, and exploring those shallow backwaters that larger boats simply can’t get into as easily.
The big advantage here is simplicity. You’re not buying a huge boat with a lot of weight and expense when you may not need it. You’re getting a very capable 17-footer that’s easy to trailer, easy to launch, easy to maintain, and easy to enjoy.
If most of your boating is bays, creeks, flats and inshore fishing, I’d definitely take a serious look at the 171.
Come climb aboard, take a look around, and see how it feels. If it fits the way you boat, I think you’ll understand pretty quickly why this size makes a lot of sense.
