Imagine a 20’-22’ long, 8’ wide, 6” draft (at rest), 100% composite hull that weighs less than 1100 lbs (20ft Model).
Micro Draft hulls are custom built passionately by hand, one at a time. Any of our models can be finished and rigged completely to your specifications or delivered as a “Guide Ready” package. All Micro Draft hulls have a very unique designed raked tunnel hull system that actually creates lift under the hull and allows it to run where no other skiff can, with or without a tunnel hull. No longer is a jet foot needed to reach those hard to get to fishing holes. There is more room to fish, more angler capacity and all the standard features of many skiffs.
The Micro Draft “Guide Ready” is rigged standard with a 70hp four-stroke outboard engine mounted on a Bob's jack plate. While running, you can lift the prop completely above the planing surface of the boat to allow for near zero running draft. The best thing about a Micro Draft is that it will do all this while carrying 4 or more passengers. It has the tools of the trade too, including dual live wells with high speed pick-ups, insulated cooler, trolling motor with a 24-volt on board charging system, ample storage, and a custom aluminum trailer. The primary goal of the creator of Micro Draft was to engineer and build a shallow water skiff that provided unparalleled practical performance.
Micro Draft Skiffs the best shallow water skiffs were born in the back country creeks of Ozello, Florida. Guide owned and operated, the creator of Micro Draft knew what he was missing by not getting into the shallowest creeks in the area. Airboat trips through the mazes of mangrove creeks along the coast provided numerous glimpses of over-sized redfish and gator trout holding, untouched in these skinny creeks and back bays. Guiding from an airboat wasn’t even considered as an option. So the design and construction of the first generation of Micro Draft Skiffs began.
The Micro Draft models are 100% strong and lightweight composite technology. The interior on our models are designed to be very well thought out and a user friendly fishing skiff with all the features and rigging needed to have a great day on the water. You can even design and layout your Micro Draft Skiff completely to your own specifications if you prefer. It’s no wonder many professionals who make a living fishing the skinniest of waters already own a Micro Draft Skiff. They all claim it, but we can confirm it. The Micro Draft is a back country skiff that is second to none in performance.
