The 2026 Carolina Skiff 17 LS is a 17-foot center console built on the brand's next-generation LS Series modified V-hull. Powered by a Suzuki DF115BTX5 four-stroke outboard, the boat delivers a smooth, dry ride with fuel efficiency and reliable performance. The fiberglass hull measures 8 feet across the beam and draws approximately 7 inches of water, with a fuel capacity of 21 gallons and maximum capacity for 6 people or 1,610 pounds.
The layout maximizes deck space with a spacious forward fishing platform, lockable storage, and comfortable seating throughout. The console features full instrumentation, a stainless grab rail, and windshield. Rear jump seats include stainless cup holders and hidden storage, while a swim platform with ladder provides water access. A self-bailing deck and non-skid surfaces keep maintenance simple, and stainless hardware is standard throughout.
Available options include a 90-inch black Bimini top with boot, remote power tilt and trim, hydraulic steering with tilt helm, grey upholstery, bow cushion set, raw water wash down system, and an AM/FM Bluetooth radio with four speakers and USB and auxiliary plugs. The boat can be ordered with full Evening Sky Blue gel coat to the side.
This center console handles inland lakes, rivers, bays, and coastal waters equally. The design suits fishing, family cruising, and watersports alike, with easy towing and straightforward maintenance typical of Carolina Skiff construction.
