The Floyd Patterson of Skiffs…sophistication and toughness found in The Salt Marsh skiff

Salt Marsh, on the bleeding edge of skiff building materials.

Here is what Salt Marsh says about their skiffs:

The Salt Marsh concept is based on using Kevlar laminates for high strength and tough resins. We could not have developed this concept even just 2 years ago at this price, but recent resin research has allowed us to push the performance/cost envelope.

Of course kevlar fabric is the standard in armor vests and troop protection. In combination with the new resins, the kevlar makes for one tough boat! We don’t male a big deal of it, but we also add carbon fiber at critical load points in the hybrid hull.

SaltMarsh hybrid jons / skiffs are built for the everyday life in these waters for either work or relaxation. These tough boats feature Kevlar laminates, the same stuff found in bullet-proof vests and our troops’ helmets. They’re lightweight and extraordinarily strong and built to last. Don’t confuse these with old school loud, flat bottom aluminum boats. All our models have a full length Mod V bottom design for a smooth quiet ride

Our smaller models fit into the back of a pickup truck and are easy to drag out to some remote fishing hole or duck pond. Lightweight but safe as they exceed all government flotation and safety requirements.

The 14′ comes in a regular and tunnel version:

Length – 14’
Hull Weight – 165 Lbs
Beam – 44” Waterline / 58” Decklevel
Max Hp – 20 hp

Truly a multi-functional workhorse of a hybrid. Complete finished deck with molded easy upkeep non-skid that grips flip-flops or workboots. The possibilities are endless, especially with the optional tunnel hull.
