What looks like a flying saucer, has a top-end of about five MPH, can be turned on its side and rolled down the boat ramp, and is also a floating fishing machine? Why, the Ultraskiff 360, of course!
This rather unique roto-molded mini-mite tips the scales at 123 pounds and has an identical LOA and beam (that’s a first!) of six feet. We’re certainly not going to suggest that anyone try cruising one out into open waters, but this peculiar little PWC could certainly be a lot of fun—and an effective fishing machine—in small lakes, ponds, and protected waterways. Cost is a bit steep, with a price of around $1,500. Beyond that, it’s hard to see any down-sides. The Ultraskiff 360 has three molded-in stowage compartments, a seat base receiver for a pedestal mount, and molded-in threaded inserts that allow you to add whatever sort of accessories you want from rodholders to fishfinders.
Could the Ultraskiff 360 be the right choice for a solitary angler in the Mid-Atlantic region? Quite possibly. But mostly we just wanted to include it here because of that awesome photograph. Can ya believe it?!?!
