2017 Beavertail Skiffs Lightning 20', 2017 Beavertail Lightning 20 The Perfect Blend of Speed and Stealth ~Motivated Seller, Bring offers!!! If you know Beavertail, you know the Lightning 20 was built for the angler who refuses to choose between a technical poling skiff and a high-performance bay boat. It s one of the few hulls on the market that can comfortably cross a choppy bay at nearly 60 mph and then silently pole into a foot of water to hunt tailing reds. The Power Plant This rig is paired with an Evinrude 150hp E-Tec H.O. with 375 original hours. The "High Output" (H.O.) model is famous for its low-end torque, giving you an incredible hole shot when you need to get up on plane in the skinny stuff. It s been lightly used, well-maintained, and is ready for the upcoming season. Performance & Efficiency The stepped hull design on the Lightning 20 isn't just for show it s about precision engineering. Whether you are running to the grounds or heading home, this boat performs: ~ Top Speed: 58 mph ~ Cruise Speed: 30 mph ~ Fuel Burn: An impressive 7 gallons per hour at cruise. Hull & Ride Quality ~ The Signature "Carolina Flare": Unlike most skiffs that leave you soaked in a crosswind, the Lightning s bow flare keeps the ride remarkably dry. ~ Carbon/Kevlar Construction: Vacuum-infused with premium resins, the hull is incredibly stiff and lightweight. It doesn't "slap" when you're poling; it stays quiet. ~ Stepped Hull Efficiency: Reduces drag, providing better fuel economy and higher top-end speed without needing a massive 300HP engine. ~ Self-Bailing Design: Peace of mind is built-in with a self-bailing hull and every hatch is deep-guttered, gasketed, and plumbed to drain to keep your gear bone-dry. Layout & Fishability ~ 360° Fishing Platform: Oversized gunnels are wide and stable, allowing you to walk the entire perimeter while fighting a fish. ~ Livewell & Storage: Features a massive 35-gallon insulated oval livewell to keep bait lively, plus two aft 26-gallon release wells that double as 120-quart coolers. ~ Trolling Power: Equipped with a Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor to navigate the flats with ease. ~ Rod Protection: Under-gunnel racks with fly tubes keep your high-end setups (up to 10 ) protected. ~ Seating: Features a comfortable bench seat with a backrest behind the console and a forward-facing jump seat. Electronics & Hardware ~ Navigation: Fully rigged with Simrad Electronics and equipped with integrated Nav and Anchor lights. ~ Skinny Water Essentials: An Atlas Jack Plate and Lenco Trim Tabs give you total control over your draft and ride attitude. ~ Reliability: High-capacity bilge pump and a clean, organized rigging system.
