This Micro Skiff build was extremely cheap and easy to build! In this video I link up with Nathan Ankerson who does a full walk through of his 16' micro skiff build.

I'll chose low budget form and function over big dollar boats all day, every day. I dig the color too. Great work, brutha!

Nathan’s grandfather was a professional ship builder and a perfectionist. Unfortunately he passed away the year Nathan was born so all that knowledge was lost. But oddly enough Nathan managed to pick up a few skills of his own.

I have the same hull with 25 Johnson. I fiberglassed a casting platform and repurposed an old aluminum step for my poling platform. Aluminum extension pole for the push pole. It’s an amazing rig. $2,100 total invested

It really is an incredibly versatile boat. Part time submarine. On its maiden voyage it nearly escaped. I hear his nephew has really strong arms. These stories only add to the legend! Southern Salt should come out fishing with us on a brothers trip and see firsthand the majesty of an Ankersen fishing trip.

I went through a similar process during Covid. I bought a 14’ hull & Customized from there. Took me about the same amount of time about six months. Coincidentally about the same cost as well.

I loved the walkthrough, and the description of the build, but $5200 and about five months is not a deal at all for that boat. A labor of love, sure, and kudos to his skills. But for that money, you can get a trailered 16-18 foot boat ready to launch from even a semi motivated seller. Love your channel, please keep up the awesome videos.

My wife and buddies thought I was crazy because I sold my 23’ bay boat last year to build a 17’ mod-v Jon boat into a skiff. But I love the boat I built and it is way better in the marsh although I do miss going offshore
