Since 1966, Skipjack boats have withstood the test of time on the open ocean. You’ll see these legacy boats still hard at work well beyond the outer banks and islands. You’ll find dedicated owners re-powering their Skipjacks after thousands of hours at sea. While no engine will last forever, a good solid hull is worth keeping when created with timeless nautical styling and solid construction. And that is why you’ll still find thirty-year-old Skipjacks commanding top dollar!
