Whether you're a fly fisherman, flats fisherman, or sight caster looking for tailing redfish, the WASP 178 provides a stable ride that handles chop well and isn't tippy. It’s ideal for 2 people, but comfortably handles 3. The hydraulic steering model comes with a 60 HP motor, ready to hit the water.

The Stinger 160 T Tiller is our 16 ft. skiff, meticulously stripped down for the minimalist angler. Built with a 12-degree deadrise V-bow and tunnel, it’s perfect for navigating the Texas Gulf Coast shallows and demanding water conditions. It drafts in just 6 inches, offers a stable ride, and is surprisingly capable in chop. Designed for a smaller horsepower tiller, its lightweight and simple construction ensures you focus on the fish. A side console option is also available for added versatility.
