Re: 18x48 skiff (36PD) Reviews? My 1848 skiff ran around 27-28 mph light load. Stock motor.

Re: 18x48 skiff (36PD) Reviews? Might see better speeds with a GTR, not too sure though.

Re: 18x48 skiff (36PD) Reviews? B, depends on how the skiff is built too. I'm basing those speeds off mine with tall sides, catwalks, and more bracing than normal. I never fool with the trim tabs or moving weight around to find the best speeds. Those are honest deep water speeds.

Re: 18x48 skiff (36PD) Reviews? Its going to be an open 18x48 skiff, With vertical ribs, false double bottom and around an 18gal fuel tank. Rick Aucoin is building it.
