2015 Carolina Skiff 198 DLV

This 2015 Carolina Skiff 198 DLV is a 19-foot center console built on a modified-V, wood-free hull with shallow 9-inch draft—ideal for navigating creeks, marshes, and sandbars. Powered by a Yamaha 115 HP four-stroke engine with hydraulic steering, the boat delivers efficient, quiet operation. The fiberglass hull is stable and flex-free, and comes paired with a single-axle Road King trailer and spare tire.

The layout accommodates up to ten people across a double-wide helm seat with integrated cooler, two stern jump seats, forward console seating, and bow deck seating with its own cooler. Storage is generous with four large deck compartments plus under-helm lockers. Additional amenities include a Sunbrella Bimini top, Garmin GPS chartplotter, Jensen AM/FM Bluetooth stereo, swim platform with telescoping stainless ladder, full instrumentation, six stainless cup holders, and two coolers totaling 17-plus quarts. A boat cover is included.

The electrical system features two 100Ah LiTime lithium batteries paired with a 30A MPPT charge controller and two large solar panels, offering lightweight, high-output power with faster charging and extended cycle life compared to traditional setups. Additional batteries, two bilge pumps, safety equipment including four Coast Guard-approved life vests and a throwable device, plus two anchors, bumpers, dock lines, and stainless hardware round out the equipment.

The Yamaha engine shows 664 hours of use at approximately 60 hours per season. It has been flushed after every outing and serviced annually with regular spring maintenance including oil, lower unit oil, fuel filter, water-separating filter, and spark plugs. The deck is solid throughout with no soft spots, and all systems function properly.
