Research 2017 - Carolina Skiff - JV 17 Center Console

Do you need to skim around on shallow flats, shimmy across backcountry bars, pole in ankle-deep water, or put in at skinny-water ramps? Then the JV Series is made just for you.

Lightweight yet extremely steady and strong, the JV pairs up nicely with smaller, fuel-sipping outboards that will easily push this shallow-draft boat up on plane in a whisper while keeping your gas gauge happy.

The JV comes in 13-, 15- and 17-foot models, touting quite a carrying capacity for their sizes. Consider that the JV17CC has a hull weight of just 750 pounds yet can carry five people. If stick steering or a tiller handle is more your style, the JV can be ordered that way as well.

Making the JV even more attractive is its long line of standard features: its pre-wired for a trolling motor and accessories, has a lighted livewell and sports a stainless steel steering wheel. Add on the optional rod holders and a Bimini top and you’ll be ready for a relaxing day on the water.
