The Hog Island roto molded hulls are virtually indestructible, these boats are designed to be very stable side to side, tip to tail, and to float very shallow. The Hog Island Goal is for their boat owners to feel comfortable when leaning over the gunwale netting a State Record, and to be confident navigating shallow rocky waters. The hull bottom is flat from the transom to the bulkhead with three raised 1” ribs for enhanced tracking. These feature a very shallow "v" on our hull bottom just forward of the bulk head running forward to the bow to cut chop. Designed to have significant side wall angle moving forward from mid-ship to the bow. This keeps our hull wide for displacement, and stability, and really helps our SW 16 stay dry when running. The SW 16 skiff gets on plane with a 15 horse, but is challenged to get on plane with a 9.9. (Rated for 40 horse) Expect comfortable running speeds of 20-25 mph with a 25-40 horse outboard, two adults, and gear. The key is keeping the motor weight as close to 200lbs. or less.
