2011 Carolina Skiff 258 DLV

The 258 DLV is a 25-foot center console built on a modified-V fiberglass hull designed for both shallow-water exploration and offshore capability. Powered by a single 150 hp Yamaha gasoline engine, the boat combines a wide 8-foot beam with a shallow draft of 6 to 8 inches, allowing it to traverse flats, coastal rivers, and tidal creeks while maintaining the hull strength needed for open water.

The console layout centers around a spacious pilot station with ample storage throughout the boat. Standard equipment includes a fuel tank, high-speed bilge pump, cushion seating, a built-in cooler, and dedicated storage for gear and tackle. The open design and moderate length make it equally at home running rivers or taking on the offshore environment.

Common factory options expand the boat's versatility: a Bimini top or T-Top with rod holders and docking lights, a deluxe leaning post with additional storage, a cutting board and bait station for fishing preparation, and a swim platform with telescoping ladder for water access. These additions are available as modular upgrades, allowing the owner to configure the boat to suit their primary use.
