The 2026 Carolina Skiff 23 LS is a center console built for versatility across fishing, cruising, and family outings. Powered by a Suzuki DF200ATXSS5 outboard motor, the boat features a modified V-hull with lifting strakes designed for smooth, dry-running performance and fuel efficiency. At 23 feet long with an 8-foot beam, it offers a stable platform with a 35-gallon fuel capacity and maximum capacity for 12 persons.
The open deck layout prioritizes both function and comfort. The helm features SeaStar hydraulic steering with a tilt mechanism and a leaning post, while the bow provides plush seating with backrests. Flip-up rear jump seats and an abundance of cupholders accommodate passengers. A swim platform with ladder, stainless-steel hardware throughout, and non-skid flooring round out the design.
Fishing equipment includes multiple rod holders, under-gunwale rod storage, an insulated fish box, and a live well. Storage compartments are integrated throughout the deck to keep gear organized. Factory options on this example include a graphite gray gel coat, an ultra leaning post with anodized frame, a bow cushion set, and an AM/FM Bluetooth radio with four speakers, USB and auxiliary inputs.
