2025 Carolina Skiff 178 JLS CC WITH 90HP SUZUKI & CUSTOM ALUMINUM TRAILER

The 2025 Carolina Skiff 178 JLS is a 17-foot center console built on the brand's proven modified V hull design. It combines shallow-draft capability with stability through a wide beam and foam-filled construction that provides built-in flotation and structural rigidity. The fiberglass hull is engineered to handle both freshwater and saltwater use, with a design that dampens vibration and noise for a comfortable ride across light chop and calm water alike.

The open deck layout is spacious and functional, with a forward casting platform, integrated helm and bow seating, and strategically placed storage compartments throughout. The non-skid deck surface supports secure footing, while the uncluttered design allows easy movement and adapts readily between fishing and family cruising. Rod holders, storage, and optional electronics mounting areas serve anglers, while the layout equally accommodates passengers and recreational gear.

Power comes from a 90-horsepower Suzuki outboard, a well-matched pairing that delivers strong acceleration, smooth throttle response, and dependable cruising. The engine features advanced fuel injection for efficient consumption and reliable cold starts, with proven durability and quiet, low-vibration operation. A custom aluminum trailer completes the package, built to fit the 178 JLS specifically. The aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion, making it durable in saltwater environments, while the lightweight design reduces towing load. Features include adjustable bunks, a reliable winch system, secure tie-down points, sealed bearings, durable tires, and LED lighting.
