SELLER DESCRIPTION

2010 Clearwater 210 DL Skiff, 2010 Clearwater Skiff 210 DL Skiff - Yamaha 90hp 4 Stroke Ok, so you are looking for a good workboat with plenty of deck space or you are looking for an unsinkable that can work the shallows. You want a new boat but can’t afford some frou frou flats boat rigged out for the casual fisher where you then have to rip everything off to rig it for your line of work. Take a look at Clearwater Skiff. From the bottom up they are an excellent workboat with full flotation integrated into the hull. The floatation in these hulls is based around a COOSA transom and the rest is composite foam and fiberglass – much in the spirit of a Carolina Skiff or a Boston Whaler they are unsinkable yet Clearwater takes those extra steps. Look at the rub rails and you can see they are reinforced so they should still have nice edges in a few years. They took an extra step again in turning down and in with the side rub rails so they are stronger and less likely to break and crinkle when left rubbing against the docks or dragging nets up – heck, they look and feel solid enough to handle crab traps and lobster pots for a good many years. This boat has a wonderful center console with the controls located where you can run it all day without getting fatigued. That seat behind the center console is actually a livewell for those tropicals and seahorses you get with the rest of your catch – or use it as a baitwell for rigging your long lines. The fore and aft compartments/decks are not some flimsy material like a lot of other skiffs on the market – these are good, solid fiberglass composite that can take a beating. At the same time those compartments serve to reinforce the boat, making for one very solid skiff. In the deck space arena this is one of the roomier skiffs out there and Clearwater Skiffs did not skimp on the deck surface. It is good, thick and can take it well when you goof and set the corner of your crab trap into it. This is one sweet, thick deck surface that must have been thought out by someone who has spent a lot of time on workboats and did not like patching fiberglass. They did a good job and picked some excellent resin when they laid the glass on this deck. Economy-wise a flat bottom boat is hard to beat. Decades of service have proven this. Here in Florida we have a lot of grass flats, shoals and shallows that make a flat bottom skiff desirable. Not just for the working person but also for the person who just needs something that floats, has an engine, won’t sink and will get them out to their favorite spots and back. The beauty is that the Clearwater Skiff 210DL costs less new for next year’s model (2010) than most used bay boats and if treated properly will last just as long. Since there is a lot less stuff to go wrong, a lot less will go wrong. That makes good economical sense for those who might come down South only for the winter and just want to get out on the
