2025 Carolina Skiff EV198 with 150HP Suzuki and custom aluminum trailer

The 2025 Carolina Skiff EV198 is a 19.67-foot aluminum center console powered by a 150-horsepower Suzuki outboard. Part of Carolina Skiff's Evolution Series, the EV198 combines a modified V hull design with stable handling across varied water conditions, from inshore bays to lakes and rivers. The hull is foam-filled for structural strength and built-in flotation, engineered to perform in both freshwater and saltwater with minimal maintenance.

The deck layout balances fishing and cruising with a forward casting platform, bow and helm seating, and abundant organized storage throughout. Non-skid surfaces provide secure footing, and the wide beam creates a stable platform for fishing from multiple positions. The interior features durable upholstery and comfortable seating for family and guests, with rod holders and space for mounting electronics.

The 150HP Suzuki outboard delivers strong acceleration and reliable performance across variable conditions. Fuel injection optimizes consumption, and the engine is known for quiet operation and low vibration. Service and maintenance are straightforward, backed by Suzuki's reputation for durability.

The package includes a custom aluminum trailer designed for the EV198 hull. Aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion, while its lightweight design reduces towing strain. The trailer features adjustable bunks, a heavy-duty winch, sealed bearings, durable tires, and LED lighting for secure transport and launching.
