2015 Carolina Skiff 178 DLV
This is your opportunity to take advantage of the depreciation already taken place on this extremely clean Carolina Skiff. Why spend thousands more on a new one when this has all that you need to get out on the water safely and comfortably? Arguably the best 17' skiff out there, the 178 DLV offers a wide beam and lots of deck space for you and your friends or family. Whether you are looking for a good fish bite or a good bite of fish, this boat will run efficiently and quickly to your favorite spots. A huge storage area under the console along with twin boxes on the forward deck will contain all the gear you bring and the two separate livewells can circulate the water for your bait or use them as coolers for your beverage of choice. A solid Yamaha 70 will push this boat rather quickly while barely burning any fuel at all. A nice bimini is there for the shade when necessary and all of the cushions are in great shape to add comfort to your day. This low hour boat is on the INCLUDED TRAILER and ready to transport your water dreams to any destination you choose. Come see it for yourself and I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with this one.
