It has nothing to do with hate. I love a good skiff. In fact I've built and sold 2 over the years.
Being a brand fan boy at all costs is one thing. Ignorance.
Sharing what you know to be fact because you have seen it first hand, worked on them, AND have some hull knowledge is something completely different. Being honest, even if it does hurt.
I like the Carolina Skiffs.....but the larger ones have too much flex. That is just a fact. How many boats have you ever heard of just breaking in half? The only ones I have knowledge of ironically are Carolina Skiffs. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to draw some conclusions.
As previously stated by me. I'd buy a good priced used 21 foot Carolina Skiff.
It would have a wood sole put in it first thing. But mama didn't raise no fool when it comes to 30,000 bucks, interest rates.....and a skiff. You let somebody else take that beating.
