The 16 ft Surfrider Skiff is an excellent workskiff, for just about any task. Fully welded seams, .160” marine grade aluminum construction, and high sides, make this a very rugged and safe skiff. We have built many of these skiffs for use as tenders aboard tugboats, recreational and commercial fishing, and many other commercial duties. If intended for non- commercial applications, fore and aft compartments must be filled with foam, and may not be used as storage.
