This small, lightweight, durable round watercraft is the perfect platform for fishing, hunting and pleasure boating. The Ultraskiff sets a new standard of safety, comfort, stability, versatility, transportability and fishability from a chair, casting stool or standing. We figured out a way to design a round skiff with an incline on the deck that positions your feet for optimum balance control and a lower, tighter center of gravity when sitting, standing up, leaning over, fighting a fish or getting in and out of the boat. The Ultraskiff 360 also has a patented detachable pedestal mount for easy access through the center hole for strapping during transport or securely locking it up outside. It is transportable by rolling the skiff like a wheel, sliding it on its side bumper or using a standard hand truck. You can fit up to 2 in a pickup truck bed or use luggage rack in any trailer hitch included . The Ultra skiff 360 is perfect for everyone from recreational boaters to serious anglers and hunters.What is an Ultraskiff?The inventor was a kayak and pond boat fisherman who asked himself why? The answer was that kayaks and small boats were portable and low maintenance. You can launch them without a trailer, store them indoors or out and they do not come with the "boat ownership" responsibilities and costs. The goal was to take the experience and fishability you get when on the deck of a larger boat and combining that with elements that attract small boat owners. He was compelled to find out if there was a way to make a shorter plastic watercraft where you could sit higher on any modern day pedestal system, even a casting stool and feel stable and safe while positioned at a much higher vantage point, surrounded by features like large deep compartments, cleats and rod holders.Why is it a Round Boat?A round shape made sense because of a high, steady 360 degree vantage point when turning in your chair and the fact that rolling the boat like a wheel when moving it from spot to spot would be a unique feature in the marketplace. That was just the beginning, after prototyping there were many more game changing features that resulted in the US Patent and Trademark Office issuing a Patent on the invention. Why is this platform good for fishing? The Ultraskiff is the Ultimate Fishing Platform. It has the features and accessories needed to "Experience Fishability". Stability is enhanced with a patented gradient outer perimeter that slides pressure and weight towards the center of the round watercraft. The surrounding ergonomic surface gives your feet something to rest on and apply outward pressure against while sitting or standing by always ensuring your toes are at a higher elevation than your heels. It does not matter how high you sit or whether you have long or short legs, the gradient surface always gives your feet something to brace against the entire 360 degrees.

You can feed hoses and wires through the main tunnel and into the pedestal mount or underneath the pedestal mount through the shock absorber hose. 2 Transom Plates that are stainless steel and removable. 2 Circle Magnets, one for deck installation and the other for Hull Installation. Ultra skiff Patented Detachable Pedestal Mount: Product Information This is a molded detachable pedestal mount, it has a large hole its center and 18 -1/4" holes. The hole pattern pattern fits commercially sold removable 7" Square and 9" Round pedestal bases that have one of the two hole patterns seen below (ex. Springfield, Swivl-Eze).Q: What does the Ultraskiff draft?A: The skiff has about 2300 total Lbs of external buoyancy. We have calculated that the draft is around 1 Inch per 100 Lbs that you add to the boat. I weigh 200 Lbs and the skiff drafts about 3 Inches of the draft when I have the boat loaded with motor, battery, gear and accessories. The skiff also has 460 Lbs of internal buoyancy (positive flotation) which means that if there was a Hull Breach and the internal cavity of the hull filled p with water, then you could still sit in your chair and safely operate the boat back to shore. Q: How long will a battery last with a trolling motor?A: Check out our page Batteries and Motors FAQQ: What is the weight capacity for the Ultraskiff?A: Although the Ultraskiff has a tough rotomolded hull we do not feel that any plastic boat that is sold on the market should sink if the hull is punctured and takes on water while in use. Which is why our max capacity is set to 460 Lbs. This number correlates with the buoyancy properties of the secondary internal cavities of the vessel (positive floatation). Preventing water from rising into the deck area from the drainage canal and subsequently filling the secondary cavities and sinking the vessel. The U.S.C.G. allows the manufacturer of boats rated 2HP or lower to set their own Max Capacity ratings, there is no test or requirement. Nor is their a requirement of vessels with a 2HP rating or lower to complete the U.S.C.G. Hull Breach test or to be inspected by the U.S.C.G. To go the extra step we filmed a mock of the hull breach test test, you can watch our full hull breach test video on our Instructional Video Page.Q: I'm a big guy, how will the Ultraskiff handle me?A: Here is a video of a 375 pound gentlemen trying out the Ultraskiff for the first time at the 2016 Tampa Florida Sportsman Expo. He also shared his honest opinion of how stable he felt and what this experience is like for someone of his size. This Demo and review is unpaid and unscripted.Q: How much does the boat cost?A: Go to the SALES page on our menu for details. It has a an M.S.R.P. of $1,499.00 for Just the boat by itself. This boat is rotation-ally molded as one solid piece which ensures over-all strength and longevity. We don't rivet any accessories on the boat that rust away. The accessories are are all attached using mold in threaded inserts to ensure longevity and customization. We use 33 mold in threaded inserts that allow you to remove, customize and replace everything attached to the boat. We don't have 4 rod holders, we have 6 that are actually molded as part of the Hull. This boat is American Made with excellent build quality and workmanship.Q: What comes with the boat?A: The Ultraskiff comes fully assembled with the Hull, Cleats, Hinges, doors, latches, transom covers and detachable pedestal mount. It also comes with a set of Magnet Mounts. The boat also comes with a Title (MCO), instruction manual and the SS hardware for attaching a pedestal base to your pedestal mount.Q: What does not come with the boat?A: A Pedestal Chair system (Base, Post, seat mount and Chair), Battery and motor do not come with the boat, this way you can customize the boat to your seating specifications and motor variety for use in fresh or saltwater.Q: How much does the boat weigh?A: Right now the assembled boat hull weighs 123 lbs. Q: How easy is it to move, launch and transport the Ultraskiff 360 by hand? A: The Ultraskiff 360 weighs 123 lbs. It has 2 handles for lifting and handling underneath the bow. My favorite way to move the boat is by rolling it on its side, it takes a little while to master it but when you do you end up rolling it everywhere. Another good method is sliding the boat on it's side, if you have a surface that is not course then you can easily slide the boat around. It slides well because the only parts that touch the ground are the edge of the roll bar and the edge of the rounded gunwales, so there is minimum resistance. A common hand truck is another great way to move the boat on land and launch from shorelines and beaches.Q: How easy is it to move, launch and transport the Ultraskiff 360 by vehicle? The back of any pick-up truck bed is the perfect method. Even with a short bed you can strap them down horizontally or vertically. The center hold makes securing them with just one ratchet strap a reality. For vertical transporting 2 straps are recommended. For cars there is any small utility or watercraft trailer as well as hitch mounted carriers such as the Harbor Freight Wheel Chair Carrier. The trailer I use in the videos is this one that retails online at Harbor Frieght.com for 179.99. It is the 870 Lb. Capacity Utility Trailer, 40 In. X 49 In. Haul-Master - Item#42708. Check out our webpage: Outfitting the Ultraskiff 360 to see tips and suggestions on what works best for the boat. Q: How is the Ultraskiff 360 in rough conditions and passing wake from large boats? A: The Ultraskiff 360 can handle wake from passing boats very well. What our boat wake video on our Instructional video page and see for yourself.Q: Can I use a gas powered motor?A: Yes you can but it is coast-guard rated for 2.0 hp or lower. I made sure I designed a 17" transom so you can use a short shaft outboard but a gas motor is very jerky and the torque from the gas motor turns/spins at a high rate of speed. Unfortunately, the craft is just too short and wide to be a planning hull, it navigates like a barge therefore your top speed is limited to about 4 mph. The only time you can efficiently convert your power into speed is when you have an even waterline from bow to stern. With a trolling motor the skiff always moves smooth and at an even water line. A standard deep cycle battery powered transom mounted trolling motor is the best and safest choice for the Ultraskiff 360 in our opinion.Ultra skiff R.B.C. [Rotational Stabilizers]Wind Tracking and Static Positioning Accessory--wind-tracking-and-static-positioning-accessory.htmlPrice: $100 This is our latest Patent Pending Invention and the next step in helping people Experience Ultimate Fishability in a small lightweight watercraft. These lightweight and durable instruments attach to the side rod holders and hang over side of the boat. Ambient drift is your watercraft's tendency to change its direction on its own. That is the reason we invented the Ultraskiff 360, so that if your watercraft began to drift or turn on its own, you could easily just shuffle your feet and stay aligned with your target. These light. easy to handle accessories when attached to the side rod holders help to stabilize the ambient drift of the watercraft. They have many benefits such as:1. Helps the boat track at slow speeds in the wind.2. Helps you achieve static positioning in the wind. 2. Improves hook set power when not anchored. 3. De-sensitizes the steering4. Fully and easily retractable and mountable on the gunwales.5. Break Down in half for easy storage. 6. Foam filled so they float if you accidentally drop one in the water. 7. Sleek polished black color.FAQQ: Will not anchoring all day wear your battery down?A: Its surprising how little the amperage draw is when your using the motor at 60% thrust and below. I usually get over 4 - 8 hours of fishing in on a single battery using them depending on the wind speed. Q: Are these necessary to fish from the boat? A: The boat is fine this is just a cool improvement if you use artificials and want to fish in the wind without anchoring. Q: Are these available for purchase?A: Yes, First edition RBC seen in the pictures above are available for purchase. Q: How much do they weigh?A: 2 Lbs eachQ: Will they work in really strong wind?A: Work yes, but over 16 MPH is going to require over 60% of thrust to keep a static and will probably wear your battery down more then usual. Q: Will they work in Saltwater?A: It will help slow tracking in the wind but if the current is strong it can have an effect on there abilities to keep a static. So they are not at 100% effective when the current is moving in a different direction then the wind.Q: Do they limit how shallow you can go? A: No, they hang below the waterline less then a foot which is higher then your propeller, so there are no limitations here really. Q: Do they hand up in Lily Pads?A: In the really dense pads you may want to bring them up. Generally though in the normal density of pads I go into and through Pads just fine with these, you'll get the occasional floater that tags long for a ride. Q: Limitations?A: Yes, one limitation is that they will not hold up against the pull of a 10'+ Deep Diver Crankbait. Using a lure with this much resistance will begin to through your course off. There are ways around it such as controlling the direction of the boat with the angle of your rod tip or retrieving in the direction of your course.
