Montana Boatbuilders: Freestone Skiff Drift Boats

Description
Models and Specs

The Freestone Skiff is a great boat for experienced fishermen and oarsmen who prefer the utility of a low-sided boat and seated casting. The wide bottom and flattened rocker provide an incredible amount of surface area, so the boat drafts very little water even when fully loaded. The Skiff features fore and aft dry pedestals, full length rod storage, our high-backed Wood and Rope guide seat mounted on and open hoop assembly, and 10' side decks. Sawyer oars, a third breakdown oar, and our Straight Line anchor system are included.

The Skiff features our full kevlar and honeycomb bottom. The chines are further reinforced with Biaxial fiberglass, both on the inside and the outside. The exterior finish on the bottoms is 1/4" of high-density polyurethane for abrasion resistance. The interior finish is a Bristol finish with non-skid Speedliner on the floors.

We've now added a Recurve Skiff. This boat has all the same features of the Freestone Skiff but also incorporates our trademark curved gunnels raising the oarlocks by three inches and adding a rounded transom at the bow which increases legroom. The hull footprint is slightly wider making it float even higher than the Freestone Skiff.

15' Freestone Skiff – Weight: 225lbs. Beam at chine: 53". Beam at oarlocks: 75".
16' Recurve Skiff – Weight: 250lbs. Beam at chine: 55". Beam at oarlocks: 78".

The Freestone Skiff is also available as a kit.
